Weather in August
Temperature
The advent of August brings an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 82°F (27.8°C), almost identical to the preceding month. Covel anticipates a considerable drop in temperature at night in August, with an average low of 58.5°F (14.7°C).Heat index
The heat index in August is evaluated at a hot 87.8°F (31°C). If one continues to be active during exposure, it might cause tiredness and subsequent heat cramps.Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. 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.
