Weather in August
Temperature
Pierce marks the arrival of August with an average high-temperature of a still warm 82°F (27.8°C), hardly different from July's 84.2°F (29°C). During August nights, Pierce witnesses a consistent average temperature of 61.5°F (16.4°C).Heat index
August's heat index is estimated at a hot 87.8°F (31°C). Unrelenting activity during exposure could cause fatigue and potentially lead to heat cramps.Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
