Weather in August
Temperature
The advent of August observes an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 81°F (27.2°C), nearly identical to July's 81.9°F (27.7°C). Lester observes a distinct decrease from peak daytime temperatures, with an average low-temperature of 57.7°F (14.3°C) throughout the month of August.Heat index
In August, the average heat index is computed to be a hot 86°F (30°C). Fatigue might occur with continuous exposure and activity, potentially causing heat cramps.When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. 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.
