Weather in August
Temperature
Phoenix's transition from July to August introduces an average high-temperature of a still warm 82.8°F (28.2°C), marking an insignificant variation from the 84.9°F (29.4°C). Throughout August, Phoenix anticipates an average low-temperature of 66.7°F (19.3°C).Heat index
For August, the heat index is evaluated at a hot 89.6°F (32°C). If exposure and activity persist, fatigue could ensue, possibly leading to heat cramps.Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
