Weather in August
Temperature
August's onset records a minor alteration in the average high-temperature to a moderately hot 84.9°F (29.4°C) from July's 87.6°F (30.9°C). The nights of August anticipate an average low-temperature of 64.6°F (18.1°C).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is estimated at a hot 93.2°F (34°C). Take greater precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could result from lengthy activity.One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
