Weather in August
Temperature
The transition from July to August sees average high-temperatures adjusting to a still moderately hot 82°F (27.8°C), from a not significantly different 82.9°F (28.3°C). August witnesses a substantial contrast between the daytime highs and the average low of 59.2°F (15.1°C).Heat index
The heat index for August is computed to be a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). With unrelenting exposure and activity, one might experience exhaustion, leading to potential heat cramps.Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
