Weather in August

August continues to uphold the heat with 86.5°F (30.3°C) as the high and 67.3°F (19.6°C) for the low. This temperature is marginally less warm than July but predicts a noticeable cooling shift moving into September. Daylight hours continue to be extensive, facilitating various outdoor engagements. Despite the persistent heat, August’s weather still attracts tourists drawn to summertime excursions and water activities.

Temperature

August is marked by an average high-temperature of a still hot 86.5°F (30.3°C), almost identical to the preceding month. Throughout August, the temperature falls to an average low of 67.3°F (19.6°C).

Heat index

August's mean heat index is evaluated at a very hot 98.6°F (37°C). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.
Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
