Weather in August
Temperature
With the onset of August, the average high-temperature registers at a still moderately hot 82.9°F (28.3°C), subtly different from July's 85.1°F (29.5°C). During August, the average low-temperature is recorded at an enjoyable 65.8°F (18.8°C).Heat index
August's mean heat index is estimated at a hot 89.6°F (32°C). Remaining active during long-lasting exposure could cause fatigue, leading to heat cramps.Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young ones often ignore the need to take a break and drink fluids. Thirst is a late-stage symptom of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, particularly during extended physical activities, is crucial.
