Weather in August
Temperature
The beginning of August records an average high-temperature of a still hot 86.7°F (30.4°C), marking a negligible difference from July's 88.7°F (31.5°C). August nights see a notable contrast from daytime highs, with the nighttime temperature averaging at a comfortable 63°F (17.2°C).Heat index
During August, the heat index is appraised at a hot 87.8°F (31°C). Long-standing exposure and activity could induce a feeling of tiredness and lead to heat cramps.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
