Weather in August
Temperature
Milton observes an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 81.1°F (27.3°C) in August, barely different from 82.4°F (28°C) in July. Milton records a consistent low-temperature of 70°F (21.1°C) during August nights.Heat index
The average heat index in August is calculated to be a hot 86°F (30°C). Uninterrupted exposure and activity might result in fatigue, potentially causing heat cramps.Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild winds. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
