Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August coincides with an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 80.6°F (27°C), indicating a minimal shift from July's 82.8°F (28.2°C). During August, La Jara experiences an average low-temperature of 61.2°F (16.2°C) at night.Heat index
In August, the heat index is estimated at 80.6°F (27°C). Long-lasting exposure and activity potentially induce a sense of weariness, with the risk of heat cramps.Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
