Weather in August

In August, Ball sees a repetition of July's intense heat and high humidity conditions. A slight dip in the daytime temperatures ushers in a gradual slowing down of summer. The rainfall, albeit slightly more compared to July, continues to play a major role in regulating the heat. Yet, the generous sunshine coupled with longer daylight hours prolongs the summer charm. As the month progresses, the impending fall season begins to drop subtle hints.

Temperature

The yearly peak temperatures in Ball occur in July and August, averaging a high-temperature of 93°F (33.9°C).

Heat index

In August, the average heat index is computed to be a burning hot 120.2°F (49°C). Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Prolonged effort can result in heatstroke.
It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. 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. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. When relative humidity is heightened, it slows the rate of evaporation, thereby decreasing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a sensation of overheating. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
