Nightly readings in August display a noticeable downturn from daily highs, with the average low-temperature registering a refreshing 60.6°F (15.9°C).Heat index
The heat index value for August is evaluated at a hot 86°F (30°C). Long-lasting exposure and activity potentially induce a sense of weariness, with the risk of heat cramps.It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
