Weather in August
Temperature
Stepping into August, Elba records an average high-temperature of a still hot 86.2°F (30.1°C), almost consistent with July. Despite high daytime temperatures, the average temperature lowers to an enjoyable 63.9°F (17.7°C) during August nights.Heat index
August's heat index is calculated to be a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). Long-lasting exposure and activity potentially induce a sense of weariness, with the risk of heat cramps.In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
