Weather in August
Temperature
The initiation of August records an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 81.7°F (27.6°C), displaying a near consistency with the previous month. A sharp divergence from daytime highs is noted during the month of August, with the average nighttime temperature settling at a moderate 56.8°F (13.8°C).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is calculated to be 84.2°F (29°C). If exposure and ongoing activity persist, they might induce a state of tiredness and heat cramps.Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
