Weather in August

The arrival of August brings an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 84.9°F (29.4°C), closely following the temperature pattern of July. August nights report a substantial dip from daytime highs to an average of 61.5°F (16.4°C).

Heat index

During August, the heat index is computed to be a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Incorporate additional safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Long-term activity may induce heatstroke.
Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
