Weather in August

The advent of August reveals an average high-temperature of a still tropical 86.5°F (30.3°C), showing minimal difference from the prior month. Whitney registers a significant drop in temperature in August, with average nighttime lows of 63.7°F (17.6°C).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is computed to be a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). Exposure and extended activity could potentially cause a state of fatigue and lead to heat cramps.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
