Weather in August
Temperature
August's average high-temperature is a still warm 80.8°F (27.1°C), maintaining a close comparison with July's 81.9°F (27.7°C). A noticeable downturn in temperature characterizes the August nights, averaging at a moderate 58.6°F (14.8°C).Heat index
The average heat index in August is estimated at a hot 86°F (30°C). Enduring exposure and unrelenting activity might cause a state of weariness, potentially leading to heat cramps.Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
