Weather in August
Temperature
The shift to August signals an average high-temperature of a still hot 93.7°F (34.3°C), subtly varied from July's 94.3°F (34.6°C). Throughout August, the average low-temperature in Lena dips to an agreeable 73°F (22.8°C).Heat index
August's heat index is appraised at a life-threatening hot 120.2°F (49°C). Precaution: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are possible. Heatstroke is a serious risk with continued exertion.Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Youngsters frequently overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is an advanced sign of dehydration - thereby highlighting the importance of keeping hydrated, particularly during long physical activities.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
