Weather in August
Temperature
Irene marks the start of August with an average high-temperature of a still warm 83.3°F (28.5°C), hinting at a slight fluctuation from July's 84.9°F (29.4°C). Irene records a pronounced decline from the day's peak to an average nighttime low-temperature of 61.3°F (16.3°C) throughout August.Heat index
During August, the heat index is computed to be a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). Uninterrupted activity during exposure could lead to a sense of exhaustion, possibly causing heat cramps.One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
