Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August brings an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 81.1°F (27.3°C), subtly diverging from July's 82.6°F (28.1°C). During August, Matawan observes a consistent average nighttime temperature of 68.7°F (20.4°C).Heat index
The heat index value during August is appraised at a hot 86°F (30°C). Ongoing exposure and activity could lead to a state of exhaustion, with a chance of heat cramps.Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. 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.
