Weather in August
Temperature
August's climate shows a minor adjustment in average high-temperatures to a still hot 91.2°F (32.9°C) from July's 91.8°F (33.2°C). Vick's average low-temperature during August nights is observed to be a pleasant 73°F (22.8°C).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is appraised at a life-threatening hot 116.6°F (47°C). Prudent: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Heatstroke becomes imminent with sustained exertion.Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. 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 largely significant for babies and toddlers. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
