Weather in August
Temperature
August denotes a minimal variation in the average high-temperature to a still warm 82°F (27.8°C) from July's 83.5°F (28.6°C). August in English witnesses a substantial contrast between the daytime highs and the average low of 58.5°F (14.7°C).Heat index
The heat index value for August is computed 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.Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
