Weather in August
Temperature
The advent of August signifies a minor shift to an average high-temperature of a still warm 81°F (27.2°C), aligning closely with July. Portland reports an average low-temperature of 63°F (17.2°C) during the nights of August.Heat index
August's average heat index is computed to be a tropical 86°F (30°C). Persisting in activity during exposure could lead to weariness and subsequently to heat cramps.Heat index details are generally centered around shaded locations and a mild breeze. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. 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 are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
