Weather in August
Temperature
August's arrival brings an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 81.5°F (27.5°C), demonstrating subtle variation from the preceding month. During the nights in August, Hartford experiences a consistent average temperature of 62.2°F (16.8°C).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is estimated at a hot 87.8°F (31°C). If exposure and ongoing activity persist, they might induce a state of tiredness and heat cramps.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
