Weather in August
Temperature
August's weather displays an average high-temperature of a warm 85.6°F (29.8°C), slightly varied from July's 87.1°F (30.6°C). August's nights in Drake observe an average temperature of 66.7°F (19.3°C).Heat index
For August, the heat index is evaluated at a very hot 96.8°F (36°C). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
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 individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
