Weather in August
Temperature
The transition from July to August sees an average high-temperature of a still warm 82.2°F (27.9°C), indicating a minor variance from the prior month. August nights are marked by an average temperature drop to a refreshing 63.7°F (17.6°C).Heat index
In August, the average heat index is calculated to be a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). Unrelenting activity during exposure could cause fatigue and potentially lead to heat cramps.Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
