Weather in August
Temperature
August's onset records a minor alteration in the average high-temperature to a still moderately hot 81.5°F (27.5°C) from July's 82.6°F (28.1°C). August nights present a stark temperature decrease to a refreshing 58.6°F (14.8°C).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is computed to be a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). If one stays active during extended exposure, it might induce fatigue and result in heat cramps.Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
