Weather in August
Temperature
Houston's weather in August indicates an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 81.9°F (27.7°C), nearly consistent with the 83.3°F (28.5°C) of July. Houston anticipates a considerable cooling off from the daytime high to an average minimum temperature of 59.9°F (15.5°C) in August.Heat index
In August, the average heat index is estimated at a hot 87.8°F (31°C). With sustained exposure and activity, exhaustion becomes probable, resulting in heat cramps.It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
