Weather in August
Temperature
In August, the average high-temperature registers at a still warm 83.1°F (28.4°C), nearly identical to July's 84.7°F (29.3°C). Throughout the August nights, California encounters a low-temperature of 71.2°F (21.8°C).Heat index
The heat index in August is calculated to be a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). Constant activity during exposure could result in a state of weariness and possibly heat cramps.It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
