Weather in August
Temperature
Lakin in August witnesses an average high-temperature of a warm 85.5°F (29.7°C), indicating a slight variation from July's 86.5°F (30.3°C). Despite soaring daytime temperatures, Lakin registers a consistent average low-temperature of 62.6°F (17°C) in August.Heat index
In August, the average heat index is appraised at a torrid 95°F (35°C). Implement additional safety measures to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity might trigger heatstroke.From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
