Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August brings an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 82°F (27.8°C), closely following the temperature pattern of July. Throughout the month of August, the average temperature dips to a refreshing 61.7°F (16.5°C) at night.Heat index
In August, the average heat index is evaluated at a hot 87.8°F (31°C). Prolonged activity during exposure might result in a state of fatigue and cause heat cramps.Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
