The onset of August brings with it an average high-temperature of a warm 85.5°F (29.7°C), showing a negligible variation from the month before. Aurora marks a considerable descent from the daytime apex, as the average temperature dips to a mild 59.4°F (15.2°C) at night throughout August.Heat index
The heat index value for August is estimated at a tropical 86°F (30°C). If activity and exposure persist, they could induce fatigue, leading to possible heat cramps.It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
