Weather in August
Temperature
The introduction of August sees an average high-temperature of a warm 85.3°F (29.6°C), hardly deviating from July. Palmyra, during the month of August, experiences an average low-temperature of 65.3°F (18.5°C).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is evaluated at a very hot 95°F (35°C). Extra safeguards are necessary to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Prolonged activity might cause heatstroke.In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. 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 highly important for children. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
