Weather in August
Temperature
Wharton's shift from July to August is accompanied by an average high-temperature of a still warm 84°F (28.9°C), a slight deviation from 85.5°F (29.7°C). Wharton observes a noteworthy temperature drop from the daily highs during August nights, with a mean temperature of 61°F (16.1°C).Heat index
August's heat index is computed to be a hot 93.2°F (34°C). More safety actions are required, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Long-term activity may precipitate heatstroke.It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
