Weather in August
Temperature
August begins with an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 80.8°F (27.1°C), reflecting close similarity to the preceding month. In the month of August, the nighttime temperature dips to a steady average of 63°F (17.2°C).Heat index
August's mean heat index is estimated at a tropical 86°F (30°C). One might feel worn out with persistent exposure and activity, resulting in heat cramps.Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.

Sunglasses that guard against UVA and UVB rays are pivotal in minimizing sun-induced ocular damage.
