Weather in August
Temperature
As August unfolds, the average high-temperature reaches a still warm 80.8°F (27.1°C), hinting at a slight fluctuation from the previous month. August nights are marked by an average temperature drop to a comfortable 61.5°F (16.4°C).Heat index
The heat index value for August is calculated to be a hot 86°F (30°C). With sustained exposure and activity, exhaustion becomes probable, resulting in heat cramps.It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
