Weather in August
Temperature
Newport's weather in August indicates an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 82°F (27.8°C), nearly consistent with the 83.3°F (28.5°C) of July. Throughout August, Newport records an average temperature of 68.5°F (20.3°C) at night.Heat index
The heat index in August is estimated at a hot 87.8°F (31°C). If one remains active during constant exposure, it might cause exhaustion and heat cramps.Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. 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. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
