Weather in August
Temperature
The advent of August sees the average high-temperature at a moderately hot 84.9°F (29.4°C), subtly shifted from July's 86°F (30°C). The month of August sees a significant daily temperature drop, recording an average low-temperature of 62.4°F (16.9°C).Heat index
August's average heat index is estimated at a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Implement more preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke might result from extended activity.Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
