Weather in August
Temperature
With the onset of August, the average high-temperature stands at a moderately hot 84.4°F (29.1°C), closely aligned with July's 86°F (30°C). Throughout August, Red Jacket braces for a considerable drop from daytime highs, with an average low-temperature of 61°F (16.1°C).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is evaluated at a hot 93.2°F (34°C). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
