Weather in August
Temperature
Oceana's average high-temperature marks a still moderately hot 82.4°F (28°C) with the advent of August, closely mirroring that of the preceding month. A sharp contrast between day and night is prevalent in August with an average nighttime temperature of 58.6°F (14.8°C).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is evaluated at a hot 89.6°F (32°C). Constant activity during exposure could result in a state of weariness and possibly heat cramps.For clarity, heat index numbers account for light winds and areas under shade. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young ones often ignore the need to take a break and drink fluids. Thirst is a late-stage symptom of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, particularly during extended physical activities, is crucial.
