Weather in August
Temperature
Cloudcroft records a slight change with August's average high-temperatures adjusting to a still tropical 87.1°F (30.6°C) from July's 87.4°F (30.8°C). In Cloudcroft, an average low-temperature of 69.1°F (20.6°C) is recorded during August nights.Heat index
The heat index value for August is evaluated at a hot 86°F (30°C). Exhaustion is likely with prolonged exposure and activity. Sustaining activity may result in heat cramps.In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
