Weather in August
Temperature
With the onset of August, the average high-temperature registers at a still warm 80.6°F (27°C), subtly different from July's 82.4°F (28°C). An average low-temperature of 61.7°F (16.5°C) marks the month of August.Heat index
The heat index value during August is calculated to be 84.2°F (29°C). If one endures exposure and continues to be active, it might result in tiredness and heat cramps.Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
