Weather in August

August in Socorro continues with high summer temperatures, albeit a slight dip from July’s peaks. The longer daylight hours persist, coupled with persistent sunshine and the occasional thunderstorm. Rainfall encounters a steady rise, bringing with it a considerable amount of cloud cover that cushions the summer heat. August weather closely mimics that of July's, with a very gradual shift towards cooler, autumnal temperatures becoming evident. Even though temperatures may dip slightly, daily variations remain high from 67.5°F (19.7°C) to 85.6°F (29.8°C).

Temperature

Stepping into August, Socorro records an average high-temperature of a warm 85.6°F (29.8°C), almost consistent with July. An average low-temperature of 67.5°F (19.7°C) is recorded during the nights in August.

Heat index

The average heat index in August is computed to be a hot 86°F (30°C). If one continues to be active during enduring exposure, it could result in fatigue and heat cramps.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
