Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August sees a recorded average high-temperature of a still warm 82.8°F (28.2°C), showing little divergence from the previous month's conditions. An average nighttime temperature of 61.5°F (16.4°C) is noted during the month of August.Heat index
The average heat index in August is calculated to be 84.2°F (29°C). If one continues to be active during enduring exposure, it could result in fatigue and heat cramps.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. 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.
