Weather in August
Temperature
August brings an average high-temperature of a still warm 81.9°F (27.7°C), showing a slight difference from July's 82.9°F (28.3°C). The month of August is marked by an average minimum temperature of 74.1°F (23.4°C), slightly cooler than its daytime counterpart.Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is estimated at a hot 87.8°F (31°C). Fatigue might occur with continuous exposure and activity, potentially causing heat cramps.The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
