The start of August sees the average high-temperature at a still moderately hot 82°F (27.8°C), showing little difference from July's 84°F (28.9°C). During the month of August, an average low-temperature of 61.3°F (16.3°C) is recorded.Heat index
The heat index for August is appraised at a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). If one stays active during extended exposure, it might induce fatigue and result in heat cramps.Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
