Weather in August
Temperature
The transition into August is marked with an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 81.9°F (27.7°C), showing an insignificant shift from July's 82.9°F (28.3°C). Throughout August, a modest shift from daytime highs is anticipated, with an average low-temperature of 74.1°F (23.4°C).Heat index
August's mean heat index is computed to be a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). Long-standing exposure coupled with ongoing activity could result in exhaustion, possibly causing heat cramps.Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
