Weather in August
Temperature
The transition into August marks the average high-temperature at a still warm 81.1°F (27.3°C), differing minimally from July's 82.9°F (28.3°C). During August, Carson records a consistent average nighttime temperature of 62.4°F (16.9°C).Heat index
August's average heat index is calculated to be a tropical 86°F (30°C). With sustained exposure and activity, exhaustion becomes probable, resulting in heat cramps.Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
