Weather in August
Temperature
The average high-temperature during August registers at a still moderately hot 82°F (27.8°C), maintaining a close resemblance to the previous month. An average nighttime temperature of 62.4°F (16.9°C) is observed during August.Heat index
During August, the heat index is computed to be a hot 87.8°F (31°C). Persisting in activity during long-term exposure might induce weariness, with subsequent heat cramps.Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
