Weather in August
Temperature
August, marked by an average high-temperature of 91°F (32.8°C) and a low-temperature of 76.6°F (24.8°C), is the warmest month.Heat index
August's heat index is evaluated at a burning hot 114.8°F (46°C). Be prepared: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Continued activity may lead to heatstroke.It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
