Weather in August
Temperature
Orrtanna's shift into August is marked by a subtle change to a still moderately hot 81.7°F (27.6°C) from July's 84.2°F (29°C) in temperature. August's average low-temperature reading settles at a refreshing 62.2°F (16.8°C).Heat index
August's average heat index is calculated to be a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). Constant activity during exposure could result in a state of weariness and possibly heat cramps.It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Kids frequently ignore the importance of taking a break and rehydrating. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during long-lasting physical activities.
