Weather in August
Temperature
August's average high-temperature is a still warm 84°F (28.9°C), maintaining a close comparison with July's 85.8°F (29.9°C). August presents a pronounced divergence from daily peak temperatures, with the average low-temperature of 60.4°F (15.8°C).Heat index
The average heat index in August is computed to be a hot 91.4°F (33°C). Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
