Weather in August
Temperature
August reports an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 82°F (27.8°C), slightly varied from July's 83.1°F (28.4°C). August nights bring a significant cooling from the heat of the day, with averages of 59.2°F (15.1°C).Heat index
August's mean heat index is calculated to be a hot 87.8°F (31°C). If exposure and activity are sustained, they might cause a feeling of weariness, resulting in heat cramps.Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
