Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August marks a slight shift to an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 82.8°F (28.2°C) from July's 83.7°F (28.7°C). August nights experience a distinct temperature drop from the daily highs, with an average low-temperature of 59.7°F (15.4°C).Heat index
The heat index value for August is estimated at a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). If one persists in activity during exposure, it could induce weariness and subsequently, heat cramps.Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
