Weather in August
Temperature
August, with its high-temperature average of 27.3°C (81.1°F) and a low-temperature average of 23.9°C (75°F), is the coldest month.Heat index
The heat index in August is calculated to be a tropical 31°C (87.8°F). Exposure and extended activity could potentially cause a state of fatigue and lead to heat cramps.Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
