Weather in August
Temperature
August's average high-temperature stands at a still moderately hot 81.5°F (27.5°C), showing little deviation from July's 82.4°F (28°C). August nights cool down to an average low-temperature of 63.3°F (17.4°C).Heat index
August's average heat index is appraised at a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). Continuous activity in exposure could lead to a feeling of fatigue and heat cramps.Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
