Weather in August
Temperature
In August, The Orchards experiences a barely noticeable shift in meteorological conditions, with average high-temperatures moving from 85.6°F (29.8°C) in July to a still moderately hot 83.5°F (28.6°C). The average low-temperature of 67.3°F (19.6°C) is witnessed during August.Heat index
The heat index value during August is evaluated at a hot 89.6°F (32°C). Staying active during long-term exposure might result in a state of exhaustion and cause heat cramps.Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. 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 quite important for babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
