Weather in August
Temperature
The shift into August records an average high-temperature of a hot 30.6°C (87.1°F), subtly varied from July's 29.1°C (84.4°F). Despite high daytime temperatures, the average temperature lowers to a comfortable 17.9°C (64.2°F) during August nights.Heat index
During August, the heat index is estimated at a tropical 32°C (89.6°F). Enduring exposure and unrelenting activity might cause a state of weariness, potentially leading to heat cramps.The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
