Weather in August
Temperature
August's climate shows a minor adjustment in average high-temperatures to a still moderately hot 81.7°F (27.6°C) from July's 84.2°F (29°C). South Mountain's August nights cool down to an average low-temperature of 62.2°F (16.8°C).Heat index
In August, the heat index is calculated to be a hot 87.8°F (31°C). If exposure and activity persist, fatigue could ensue, possibly leading to heat cramps.One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital 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.
