Weather in August
Temperature
The average high-temperature for August is a still moderately hot 82.2°F (27.9°C), closely aligning with the temperature of the preceding month. August nights bring a significant cooling from the heat of the day, with averages of 60.3°F (15.7°C).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is computed to be 84.2°F (29°C). Exhaustion might be the outcome of enduring exposure and continuous activity, with a risk of heat cramps.Heat index details are generally centered around shaded locations and a mild breeze. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. 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.
