Weather in August
Temperature
August's advent notes a subtle adjustment in average high-temperature to a still moderately hot 81.3°F (27.4°C) from July. An average minimum temperature of 63.9°F (17.7°C) marks the month of August.Heat index
In August, the average heat index is calculated to be a hot 87.8°F (31°C). Exhaustion might be the outcome of enduring exposure and continuous activity, with a risk of heat cramps.Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
