August's commencement is accompanied by an average high-temperature of a still warm 80.8°F (27.1°C), diverging marginally from July's 82°F (27.8°C). Fort Hamilton sees an average low-temperature of 70.2°F (21.2°C) during August.Heat index
The heat index value for August is calculated to be 84.2°F (29°C). One might feel worn out with persistent exposure and activity, resulting in heat cramps.One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
