Weather in August

The advent of August denotes an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 82.4°F (28°C), subtly different from July's 84.2°F (29°C). Throughout August, Fenwood Heights records an average temperature of 64.9°F (18.3°C) at night.Heat index
In August, the average heat index is calculated to be a hot 89.6°F (32°C). Long-lasting exposure and activity potentially induce a sense of weariness, with the risk of heat cramps.The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
