Weather in August
Temperature
August's climate shows a minor adjustment in average high-temperatures to a still warm 81.3°F (27.4°C) from July's 83.8°F (28.8°C). During August, the temperature tends to dip to an average of 63°F (17.2°C) at night.Heat index
The heat index in August is computed to be a tropical 86°F (30°C). If exposure and activity persist, fatigue could ensue, possibly leading to heat cramps.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
