Weather in August
Temperature
The transition from July to August brings an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 83.1°F (28.4°C), barely different from July's 84.7°F (29.3°C). Richmond Heights documents a substantial deviation from daytime highs with a consistent low-temperature of 61°F (16.1°C) during August nights.Heat index
August's average heat index is computed to be a hot 86°F (30°C). Enduring exposure and unrelenting activity might cause a state of weariness, potentially leading to heat cramps.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
