Weather in August
Temperature
The commencement of August brings an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 83.1°F (28.4°C), marking an inconsequential divergence from July. With a notable difference from peak temperatures, an average of 60.1°F (15.6°C) marks the nights in August.Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is estimated at a hot 91.4°F (33°C). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
