Weather in August
Temperature
August brings an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 85.8°F (29.9°C), showing a slight difference from July's 88°F (31.1°C). August nights showcase a dramatic shift from daytime highs to an average temperature of 63.7°F (17.6°C).Heat index
The heat index value for August is calculated to be a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). If one sustains activity during exposure, it could lead to a sense of fatigue, with a chance of heat cramps.One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
