Weather in August
Temperature
August records an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 80.6°F (27°C), indicating a minor variation from the preceding month. An average low-temperature of 61.7°F (16.5°C) is noted during the month of August.Heat index
During August, the heat index is estimated at 84.2°F (29°C). Ongoing activity coupled with exposure often results in weariness and could induce heat cramps.Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values 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. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant 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.
