Weather in August
August stays in tune with July's weather trends, exhibiting comparatively similar temperature profiles. Despite the continuation of the rainy season, August sees a slight lift in the amount of sunshine received. Auburn inevitably gets used to sticky, humid weather and frequent bouts of rain. The month stands out for receiving the highest recorded rainfall, with an average amount reaching 4.29" (109mm). As August gives way to September, locals start to look forward to a slight dip in temperature and lesser rainfall.Temperature
August reports an average high-temperature of a still tropical 90.1°F (32.3°C), slightly varied from July's 91°F (32.8°C). Auburn records a consistent low-temperature of 71.2°F (21.8°C) during August nights.Heat index
For August, the heat index is estimated at a blistering 109.4°F (43°C). Beware: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are very likely. Heatstroke is imminent with prolonged activity.Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. 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.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.
