Weather in August
Temperature
August's onset brings an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 82.8°F (28.2°C), showing a minute difference from July's 84.7°F (29.3°C). An average nighttime temperature of 61.5°F (16.4°C) is recorded during August.Heat index
The average heat index in August is computed to be 84.2°F (29°C). If exposure and activity persist, fatigue could ensue, possibly leading to heat cramps.Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
