Weather in August
Temperature
The advent of August brings an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 84°F (28.9°C), almost identical to the preceding month. With a notable difference from peak temperatures, an average of 62.1°F (16.7°C) marks the nights in August.Heat index
August's mean heat index is appraised at 84.2°F (29°C). Long-lasting exposure and activity potentially induce a sense of weariness, with the risk of heat cramps.Be informed that the heat index values are oriented around shady conditions and 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 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
