Weather in August
Temperature
The transition from July to August sees average high-temperatures adjusting to a still moderately hot 82.9°F (28.3°C), from a not significantly different 85.5°F (29.7°C). August nights cool down to an average low-temperature of 65.8°F (18.8°C).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is estimated at a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). Persistently participating in activities during exposure may lead to fatigue and induce heat cramps.It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
