Weather in August
Temperature
August welcomes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 86.4°F (30.2°C), not much different from the preceding month. August brings an average low-temperature of 65.3°F (18.5°C) to Clayton.Heat index
For August, the heat index is calculated to be a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). Ongoing exposure and activity could lead to a state of exhaustion, with a chance of heat cramps.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
