Weather in August
Temperature
The dawn of August sees an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 82°F (27.8°C), subtly contrasting with July's 83.1°F (28.4°C). A notable decrease from the day's highest temperature marks August, culminating in an average low of 59.2°F (15.1°C).Heat index
August's average heat index is evaluated at a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). Prolonged exposure combined with continuous activity could lead to exhaustion, and possibly heat cramps.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical 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.
