Weather in August
Temperature
On the advent of August, Porter's average high-temperature exhibits a minor adjustment to a still moderately hot 84.6°F (29.2°C) from July's 85.6°F (29.8°C). In Porter, following the steep rise of daytime temperatures, an average nighttime low of 61.3°F (16.3°C) is anticipated during August.Heat index
The heat index for August is evaluated at a tropical 93.2°F (34°C). Implement heightened safety measures - risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is increased. Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
