Weather in August
Temperature
The start of August marks an average high-temperature of a still warm 82°F (27.8°C), hardly distinguishable from the conditions in July. Nighttime temperature in Clifton dips to a mean of 66.7°F (19.3°C) during August.Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is estimated at a tropical 86°F (30°C). Uninterrupted activity during exposure could lead to a sense of exhaustion, possibly causing heat cramps.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
