Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August denotes a barely perceptible change in the average high-temperatures to a still moderately hot 81.1°F (27.3°C) from July's 81.5°F (27.5°C). The temperature lowers to an average of 62.8°F (17.1°C) during August nights.Heat index
For August, the heat index is estimated at a tropical 86°F (30°C). Persisting in activity during long-term exposure might induce weariness, with subsequent heat cramps.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
