Weather in August
Temperature
In August, the average high-temperature registers at a still warm 82.9°F (28.3°C), nearly identical to July's 85.5°F (29.7°C). August nights present a stark temperature decrease to a comfortable 61.2°F (16.2°C).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is calculated to be a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). With prolonged exposure and constant activity, one might feel exhausted and experience heat cramps.Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
