Weather in August
Temperature
The commencement of August brings an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 81°F (27.2°C), marking an inconsequential divergence from July. A sharp reduction from the daytime highs is witnessed during August, with nighttime temperatures averaging a low of 57.9°F (14.4°C).Heat index
August's heat index is appraised at a tropical 86°F (30°C). Exhaustion might be the outcome of enduring exposure and continuous activity, with a risk of heat cramps.Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. 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 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance 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.
