Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August coincides with an average high-temperature of a still warm 80.6°F (27°C), indicating a minimal shift from July's 81.9°F (27.7°C). An average nighttime temperature of 65.3°F (18.5°C) is recorded during August.Heat index
August's heat index is calculated to be 84.2°F (29°C). If one continues to be active during enduring exposure, it could result in fatigue and heat cramps.The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
