Weather in August
Temperature
The advent of August brings an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 82°F (27.8°C), exhibiting minor difference from the previous month. Margaret's August nights bring a significant temperature shift, averaging at a mild 59.2°F (15.1°C).Heat index
August's average heat index is computed to be a hot 87.8°F (31°C). If one continues to be active during enduring exposure, it could result in fatigue and heat cramps.Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. 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 primarily vital for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
