Weather in August
Temperature
The advent of August brings an average high-temperature of a still warm 83.8°F (28.8°C), exhibiting minor difference from the previous month. During the month of August, an average low-temperature of 64.6°F (18.1°C) is recorded.Heat index
The heat index for August is computed to be a hot 93.2°F (34°C). Ensure extra safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
