Weather in August
Temperature
The start of August sees the average high-temperature at a still warm 82.6°F (28.1°C), showing little difference from July's 84.7°F (29.3°C). During August, the temperature is averaged to a low of 61.9°F (16.6°C) at night.Heat index
August's heat index is calculated to be 84.2°F (29°C). If one continues to be active during enduring exposure, it could result in fatigue and heat cramps.From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
