Weather in August
Temperature
July's transformation into August witnesses an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 83.8°F (28.8°C), noting a minor change from the preceding month. Compton experiences an average low-temperature reading of 70.2°F (21.2°C) throughout August.Heat index
For August, the heat index is computed to be a hot 91.4°F (33°C). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. 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 largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
