Weather in August
Temperature
August's onset brings an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 27.6°C (81.7°F), showing a minute difference from July's 26.2°C (79.2°F). The average low-temperature of 17.7°C (63.9°F) is witnessed during August.Heat index
The average heat index in August is computed to be a tropical 30°C (86°F). If one stays active during extended exposure, it might induce fatigue and result in heat cramps.It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
