Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August marks a slight shift to an average high-temperature of a still warm 82.4°F (28°C) from July's 83.8°F (28.8°C). August nights are characterized by a significant departure from the daytime highs, dropping to an average temperature of 60.3°F (15.7°C).Heat index
The average heat index in August is calculated to be 82.4°F (28°C). Uninterrupted activity during exposure could lead to a sense of exhaustion, possibly causing heat cramps.Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
