Weather in August
Temperature
August commences with an average high-temperature of a still warm 81°F (27.2°C), showing little deviation from July's 82.4°F (28°C). Nighttime temperature dips to a mean of 62.2°F (16.8°C) during August.Heat index
The heat index value during August is computed to be a hot 86°F (30°C). Uninterrupted exposure and activity might result in fatigue, potentially causing heat cramps.Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
