Weather in August
Temperature
August's onset records an average high-temperature of a still warm 82.4°F (28°C), a near match to July's 83.7°F (28.7°C). During August, the nighttime temperature presents a clear descent from the daily peaks, falling to an average of 59.5°F (15.3°C).Heat index
In August, the average heat index is estimated at a hot 89.6°F (32°C). With unrelenting exposure and activity, one might experience exhaustion, leading to potential heat cramps.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
