Weather in August

The advent of August sees the average high-temperature at a still warm 81.1°F (27.3°C), subtly shifted from July's 82.6°F (28.1°C). Nighttime temperatures exhibit a substantial dip from daytime highs during August, averaging at a refreshing 59.2°F (15.1°C).Heat index
In August, the heat index is evaluated at a tropical 86°F (30°C). Prolonged exposure combined with continuous activity could lead to exhaustion, and possibly heat cramps.The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. 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 'real feel', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
