Weather in August
Temperature
The introduction of August sees an average high-temperature of a still warm 80.8°F (27.1°C), hardly deviating from July. Princeton documents a significant temperature variance in August, with the mean nighttime lows settling at a refreshing 57.6°F (14.2°C).Heat index
For August, the heat index is estimated at a tropical 86°F (30°C). If exposure and activity are sustained, they might cause a feeling of weariness, resulting in heat cramps.It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
