Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in New Haven, is also a hot month, with an average temperature varying between 87.3°F (30.7°C) and 65.8°F (18.8°C).

With the advent of August, New Haven experiences an average high-temperature of a still tropical 87.3°F (30.7°C), mirroring a close resemblance to the previous month. Throughout August, the average low-temperature in New Haven records at a refreshing 65.8°F (18.8°C).

Heat index

For most parts of August, the heat index is calculated to be a torrid 100.4°F (38°C). Implement more preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke might result from extended activity.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
