Weather in August
Temperature
August's onset brings an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 80.8°F (27.1°C), showing a minute difference from July's 82.2°F (27.9°C). August nights are marked by an average temperature drop to a moderate 59.5°F (15.3°C).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is computed to be a hot 86°F (30°C). With constant exposure and activity, a state of weariness might ensue, leading to potential heat cramps.Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. 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.
