Weather in August
Temperature
The advent of August denotes an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 81.5°F (27.5°C), subtly different from July's 82°F (27.8°C). August nights are characterized by a notable drop from daytime highs, with an average low-temperature of 58.3°F (14.6°C).Heat index
The heat index for August is evaluated at a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). Long-standing exposure and activity could induce a feeling of tiredness and lead to heat cramps.It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
