Weather in August
Temperature
The shift from July to August is characterized by an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 81°F (27.2°C), not significantly different from the 82°F (27.8°C) of July. The nights of August anticipate an average low-temperature of 62.8°F (17.1°C).Heat index
The heat index value for August is computed to be a hot 86°F (30°C). Exposure and extended activity could potentially cause a state of fatigue and lead to heat cramps.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
