Weather in August
Temperature
The commencement of August notes an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 81.3°F (27.4°C), exhibiting little difference from the previous month. Nighttime temperature experiences an average drop to a moderate 59.9°F (15.5°C) in August.Heat index
The heat index value during August is evaluated at a hot 86°F (30°C). Remaining active during long-lasting exposure could cause fatigue, leading to heat cramps.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
