Weather in August
Temperature
The onset of August marks an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 82°F (27.8°C), hardly differing from July's 83.7°F (28.7°C). Nighttime temperatures throughout August register a significant deviation from the day's highs, averaging at a moderate 59.7°F (15.4°C).Heat index
The heat index value during August is computed to be a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). Prolonged exposure combined with continuous activity could lead to exhaustion, and possibly heat cramps.Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
