Weather in August
Temperature
As July transitions into August, the average high-temperature rests at a still moderately hot 81.3°F (27.4°C), maintaining a close resemblance to the previous month. August nights experience a consistent temperature drop to a refreshing 59.9°F (15.5°C).Heat index
The average heat index in August is estimated at a tropical 86°F (30°C). If activity and exposure persist, they could induce fatigue, leading to possible heat cramps.Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
