Weather in August
Temperature
August brings an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 83.3°F (28.5°C), showing a slight difference from July's 85.6°F (29.8°C). Bridgeport, during August nights, observes an average temperature of 66°F (18.9°C).Heat index
The heat index for August is estimated at a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). With extended exposure and activity, one might feel exhausted and experience heat cramps.In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. 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.
