Weather in August
Temperature
August ushers in an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 84.2°F (29°C), aligning closely with the preceding month. Glencross records an average nighttime low of 63.3°F (17.4°C) in August.Heat index
August's average heat index is calculated to be a tropical 86°F (30°C). Persisting in activity during long-term exposure might induce weariness, with subsequent heat cramps.Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
