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.

Heat index

The heat index in August is calculated to be a blazing hot 120.2°F (49°C). Stay on guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Ongoing effort can cause heatstroke.
When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
