Weather in August
Temperature
The advent of August brings an average high-temperature of a still warm 81.5°F (27.5°C), almost identical to the preceding month. During the month of August, an average temperature of 60.1°F (15.6°C) is noted during the nights.Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is appraised at a hot 86°F (30°C). Continuous exposure and activity could induce a sense of tiredness and subsequently, heat cramps.It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
