Weather in August
Temperature
The onset of August marks an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 81.9°F (27.7°C), hardly differing from July's 82.9°F (28.3°C). Nighttime temperatures throughout August register a significant deviation from the day's highs, averaging at a refreshing 59.7°F (15.4°C).Heat index
August's heat index is evaluated at a hot 87.8°F (31°C). If one sustains activity during exposure, it could lead to a sense of fatigue, with a chance of heat cramps.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical 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.
