Weather in August
Temperature
August brings an average high-temperature of a still warm 82°F (27.8°C), nearly identical to the preceding month. During the month of August, the nighttime temperature falls to an average of 61.7°F (16.5°C).Heat index
In August, the heat index is calculated to be a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). Exhaustion is likely with prolonged exposure and activity. Sustaining activity may result in heat cramps.It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
