Weather in August
Temperature
The transition from July to August brings an average high-temperature of a still warm 81°F (27.2°C), barely different from July's 82.2°F (27.9°C). Nighttime temperatures exhibit a substantial dip from daytime highs during August, averaging at a moderate 59.4°F (15.2°C).Heat index
The heat index in August is evaluated at 84.2°F (29°C). Enduring exposure and unrelenting activity might cause a state of weariness, potentially leading to heat cramps.Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Children frequently do not understand the need for recuperation and hydration. Thirst, being a late manifestation of dehydration, underlines the need to hydrate frequently, especially when engaging in prolonged physical exercises.
