Weather in August
Temperature
The start of August sees the average high-temperature at a hot 30.6°C (87.1°F), showing little difference from July's 29.1°C (84.4°F). The average low-temperature of 17.9°C (64.2°F) in August represents a significant drop from the daily high.Heat index
August's average heat index is calculated to be a hot 32°C (89.6°F). With constant exposure and activity, a state of weariness might ensue, leading to potential heat cramps.Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
