Weather in August
Temperature
The start of August marks an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 83.7°F (28.7°C), hardly distinguishable from the conditions in July. The average low-temperature of 67.5°F (19.7°C) is witnessed during August.Heat index
August's mean heat index is evaluated at a hot 89.6°F (32°C). With ongoing exposure and activity, one might experience weariness, and heat cramps could ensue.Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. 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 'real feel', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
