Weather in August
Temperature
August's average high-temperature stands at a still warm 83.1°F (28.4°C), showing little deviation from July's 84.7°F (29.3°C). Nighttime temperatures in August average to a pleasant 71.2°F (21.8°C).Heat index
The heat index value during August is estimated at a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). With constant exposure and activity, a state of weariness might ensue, leading to potential heat cramps.In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. 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 of high significance for children. Young ones often ignore the need to take a break and drink fluids. Thirst is a late-stage symptom of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, particularly during extended physical activities, is crucial.
