Weather in August
Temperature
August's presence records an average high-temperature of a still warm 83.8°F (28.8°C), closely mirroring July's climate. The month of August records an average low-temperature of 67.3°F (19.6°C).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is estimated at a hot 91.4°F (33°C). Heightened precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.

Take precautions against overexposure. Protection against sun damage is needed.
