Weather in August
Temperature
The shift into August uncovers an average high-temperature of a still warm 82°F (27.8°C), subtly different from the previous month. From significant daily highs, Excelsior's nights in August cool down to an average low-temperature of 58.5°F (14.7°C).Heat index
The heat index in August is evaluated at a hot 87.8°F (31°C). Enduring exposure and unrelenting activity might cause a state of weariness, potentially leading to heat cramps.It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
