Weather in August
Temperature
August's climate shows a minor adjustment in average high-temperatures to a moderately hot 84.4°F (29.1°C) from July's 86.5°F (30.3°C). A notable decrease from the day's highest temperature marks August, culminating in an average low of 61.2°F (16.2°C).Heat index
During August, the heat index is evaluated at a hot 93.2°F (34°C). Implement more preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke might result from extended activity.Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
