Weather in August
Temperature
The average high-temperature in August, at a still warm 81.9°F (27.7°C), reveals a modest deviation from July's 82.9°F (28.3°C). August's nights exhibit a sharp contrast from day highs, with an average temperature of 59.5°F (15.3°C).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is evaluated at 84.2°F (29°C). Prolonged activity during exposure might result in a state of fatigue and cause heat cramps.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
