Weather in August
Temperature
The average high-temperature in August, at a still warm 82.4°F (28°C), reveals a modest deviation from July's 84.7°F (29.3°C). Nighttime temperatures hover around an average low of 61.7°F (16.5°C) in August.Heat index
The average heat index in August is computed to be 82.4°F (28°C). If activity and exposure persist, they could induce fatigue, leading to possible heat cramps.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
