Weather in August
Temperature
The average high-temperature is a still warm 82°F (27.8°C) in August, hardly different from the 84°F (28.9°C) recorded in July. During August, the nighttime temperature averages of 62.6°F (17°C).Heat index
August's average heat index is appraised at a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). With sustained exposure and activity, exhaustion becomes probable, resulting in heat cramps.Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
