Temperature

Bissell marks the arrival of August with an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 81.9°F (27.7°C), hardly different from July's 83.8°F (28.8°C). In the month of August, the average low-temperature usually rests at a refreshing 62.8°F (17.1°C).

Heat index

The heat index for August is computed to be a hot 87.8°F (31°C). Constant exposure and activity lead to possible fatigue. Prolonged exercise may result in heat cramps.
Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
