Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August sees an average high-temperature of a still warm 28.1°C (82.6°F), hardly diverging from July's 27.6°C (81.7°F). Nighttime temperatures in August average to a pleasant 21.5°C (70.7°F).Heat index
August's heat index is estimated at a tropical 32°C (89.6°F). Uninterrupted activity during exposure could lead to a sense of exhaustion, possibly causing heat cramps.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
