Weather in August
Temperature
August's presence records an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 81.5°F (27.5°C), closely mirroring July's climate. An average low-temperature of 69.3°F (20.7°C) is recorded during the nights in August.Heat index
August's average heat index is computed to be a hot 87.8°F (31°C). Remaining active during long-lasting exposure could cause fatigue, leading to heat cramps.The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. 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 babies and toddlers. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
