Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August brings an average high-temperature of a still warm 82.8°F (28.2°C), closely following the temperature pattern of July. In the month of August, the average low-temperature usually rests at a refreshing 65.5°F (18.6°C).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is estimated at a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). Unrelenting activity during exposure could cause fatigue and potentially lead to heat cramps.Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
