Weather in August
Temperature
The commencement of August notes an average high-temperature of a warm 84.7°F (29.3°C), exhibiting little difference from the previous month. A striking departure from daytime highs to an average low-temperature of 63.1°F (17.3°C) is witnessed during August.Heat index
In August, the heat index is estimated at a hot 93.2°F (34°C). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
