Weather in August
Temperature
The initiation of August sees an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 80.8°F (27.1°C), showing minor variations from the previous month. During August nights, Craig records an average temperature of 60.8°F (16°C).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is computed to be a hot 86°F (30°C). If one continues to be active during enduring exposure, it could result in fatigue and heat cramps.Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild winds. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. 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.
