Weather in August
Temperature
The initiation of August records an average high-temperature of a still warm 84.7°F (29.3°C), displaying a near consistency with the previous month. Hampden, after an intense day, registers a significant cooling to an average low-temperature of 60.6°F (15.9°C) throughout August.Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is calculated to be a torrid 95°F (35°C). Exercise more precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could precipitate heatstroke.It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
