Weather in August
Temperature
August's onset sees an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 81.3°F (27.4°C), exhibiting a slight fluctuation from the previous month. Rising Sun encounters a steady low-temperature average of 64°F (17.8°C) throughout the month of August.Heat index
The heat index value for August is calculated to be a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). Uninterrupted exposure and activity might result in fatigue, potentially causing heat cramps.Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. 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.
