With August's arrival, Colcord's weather records an average high-temperature of a still warm 80.8°F (27.1°C), marking little difference from July's 82°F (27.8°C). Throughout August nights, a significant departure from daytime temperatures, with an average low of 58.1°F (14.5°C), is recognized.Heat index
The average heat index in August is computed to be a hot 86°F (30°C). With constant exposure and activity, a state of weariness might ensue, leading to potential heat cramps.Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
