Weather in August

In August, the meteorological transition towards fall becomes evident. Though the month holds onto the trails of summer, hints of the impending autumn can be felt in the moderately cooler mornings and evenings. Despite the slight drop in temperatures, the peak daytime temperatures remain comfortably warm. As August drifts away, it paves the path for the incoming vibrancy of the fall season.

Temperature

August's arrival registers an average high-temperature of a warm 84.7°F (29.3°C), closely aligning with the temperature of the previous month. A notable decrease from the day's highest temperature marks August, culminating in an average low of 62.6°F (17°C).

Heat index

For August, the heat index is estimated at a tropical 91.4°F (33°C). Implement additional cautionary measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could occur. Prolonged activity might induce heatstroke.
Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
