Weather in August
Temperature
The introduction of August sees an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 81.7°F (27.6°C), hardly deviating from July. Nighttime temperature dips to a mean of 61.3°F (16.3°C) during August.Heat index
The heat index value during August is estimated at a hot 87.8°F (31°C). If one stays active during extended exposure, it might induce fatigue and result in heat cramps.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
