August, the last month of the summer in Radium, is another hot month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 68.5°F (20.3°C) and 86.9°F (30.5°C).

Temperature

August's commencement is accompanied by an average high-temperature of a still hot 86.9°F (30.5°C), diverging marginally from July's 88.9°F (31.6°C). In August, Radium encounters an average low-temperature of 68.5°F (20.3°C) during the night.

Heat index

August's mean heat index is computed to be a sweltering 100.4°F (38°C). Adopt extra preventive measures, the occurrence of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is likely. Heatstroke may follow extended activity.
For clarity, heat index numbers account for light winds and areas under shade. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
