Weather in August
Temperature
August brings an average high-temperature of a still warm 83.1°F (28.4°C), nearly identical to the preceding month. An average nighttime temperature of 71.2°F (21.8°C) is noted during the month of August.Heat index
In August, the average heat index is computed to be a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). Exposure and extended activity could potentially cause a state of fatigue and lead to heat cramps.Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
