Weather in August

August sees the continuation of summer in Littleton, Colorado, with average high temperatures dropping slightly to 84.7°F (29.3°C) from July. The last true month of summer, August celebrates warm and sunny days. Rainfall decreases rather significantly from July to August, meaning less humidity and potentially more comfortable conditions for outdoor activities.

The prevailing wind speed slightly subsides, ensuring a comfortable, warm breeze throughout the day.

Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is calculated to be 84.2°F (29°C). Ongoing exposure and activity could lead to a state of exhaustion, with a chance of heat cramps.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
