Weather in August
Temperature
August's advent presents an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 82.9°F (28.3°C), indicating a slight variation from the conditions of the previous month. The average temperature during August nights is registered at an enjoyable 64°F (17.8°C).Heat index
The heat index in August is evaluated at a hot 91.4°F (33°C). Exercise increased caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. 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 important for children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
