Weather in August
Temperature
The advent of August brings an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 82.6°F (28.1°C), exhibiting minor difference from the previous month. Fletcher anticipates a stark contrast in temperature during August nights, with an average low of 60.3°F (15.7°C).Heat index
August's mean heat index is estimated at a hot 89.6°F (32°C). If one continues to be active during enduring exposure, it could result in fatigue and heat cramps.Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
