Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Harlem, is another tropical month, with an average temperature varying between 72.1°F (22.3°C) and 90.5°F (32.5°C).

Temperature

August's arrival registers an average high-temperature of a still tropical 90.5°F (32.5°C), closely aligning with the temperature of the previous month. In the month of August, the temperature generally rests at an average low of 72.1°F (22.3°C).

Heat index

The heat index for August is estimated at an extremely hot 107.6°F (42°C). Implement heightened safety measures - risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is increased. Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.
Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values 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. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to 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.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
