Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August brings an average high-temperature of a still warm 80.6°F (27°C), closely following the temperature pattern of July. During August, Nichols experiences a consistent low-temperature average of 62.6°F (17°C).Heat index
August's average heat index is estimated at a hot 86°F (30°C). Staying active during long-term exposure might result in a state of exhaustion and cause heat cramps.Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
