Weather in August
Temperature
The onset of August manifests an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 82.9°F (28.3°C), demonstrating a minor variation from the preceding month. Hood anticipates a considerable drop in temperature at night in August, with an average low of 60.8°F (16°C).Heat index
The heat index value for August is appraised at a hot 89.6°F (32°C). If activity and exposure persist, they could induce fatigue, leading to possible heat cramps.Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
