Weather in August
Temperature
August commences with an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 85.6°F (29.8°C), showing little deviation from July's 86.5°F (30.3°C). Hartford City's temperature exhibits a stark contrast from daytime to nighttime, averaging lows of 62.6°F (17°C) in August.Heat index
In August, the average heat index is appraised at a fiery hot 96.8°F (36°C). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. 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 important for children. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
