Weather in August
Temperature
A minor adjustment in Sand Fork's average high-temperature is noted with the start of August, touching a still moderately hot 83.1°F (28.4°C) from July's 84.6°F (29.2°C). Despite higher daytime temperatures, nighttime averages fall to a mild 60.1°F (15.6°C) in August.Heat index
August's mean heat index is evaluated at a hot 91.4°F (33°C). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
