Weather in August
Temperature
August's arrival brings an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 82.9°F (28.3°C), demonstrating subtle variation from the preceding month. During August, Westwood sees a mean low-temperature of 65.7°F (18.7°C).Heat index
August's average heat index is estimated at a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). If activity and exposure persist, they could induce fatigue, leading to possible heat cramps.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
