Weather in August

The advent of August signifies a minor shift to an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 82°F (27.8°C), aligning closely with July. Fortescue's nighttime temperature in August falls to an average of 68.5°F (20.3°C).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is appraised at a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). Exhaustion becomes probable with enduring exposure and activity, potentially causing heat cramps.The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
