Weather in August
Temperature
August's presence marks an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 82.8°F (28.2°C), subtly varied from July's 83.8°F (28.8°C). Dorfee reports a sharp reduction in temperature during August, averaging at a refreshing 59.4°F (15.2°C) at night.Heat index
In August, the heat index is appraised at a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). Enduring exposure and ongoing activity could cause a sense of fatigue and subsequent heat cramps.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
