Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August brings an average high-temperature of a still warm 81.9°F (27.7°C), subtly diverging from July's 84.6°F (29.2°C). Throughout August, an average low-temperature of 63.7°F (17.6°C) is experienced.Heat index
For August, the heat index is computed to be a hot 87.8°F (31°C). If activity and exposure persist, they could induce fatigue, leading to possible heat cramps.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
