Weather in August
Temperature
August's onset records a minor alteration in the average high-temperature to a still warm 82.9°F (28.3°C) from July's 84.4°F (29.1°C). An average minimum temperature of 65.7°F (18.7°C) is recorded during the month of August.Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is estimated at a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). Exhaustion is likely with prolonged exposure and activity. Sustaining activity may result in heat cramps.It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
