Weather in August
Temperature
August's onset records an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 85.1°F (29.5°C), a near match to July's 87.4°F (30.8°C). Goddard records an average nighttime low of 68.7°F (20.4°C) in August.Heat index
The heat index value during August is calculated to be a tropical 93.2°F (34°C). Undertake additional safety actions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Persistent activity may induce heatstroke.Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.

Uphold preventive measures and conform to sun safety guidelines. Defending against skin and eye harm is crucial.
