Weather in August

August stays in tune with July's weather trends, exhibiting comparatively similar temperature profiles. Despite the continuation of the rainy season, August sees a slight lift in the amount of sunshine received. Auburn inevitably gets used to sticky, humid weather and frequent bouts of rain. The month stands out for receiving the highest recorded rainfall, with an average amount reaching 4.29" (109mm).

Temperature

Auburn marks the onset of August with an average high-temperature of a still tropical 90.1°F (32.3°C), subtly divergent from July's 91°F (32.8°C). An average nighttime temperature of 71.2°F (21.8°C) is recorded during August.

Heat index

For August, the heat index is calculated to be a blistering 109.4°F (43°C). Stay vigilant: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke may follow prolonged exertion.
Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
