Weather in August
Temperature
The ushering in of August brings an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 82.8°F (28.2°C), closely mirroring the 83.8°F (28.8°C) of July. Nightfall in August introduces a considerable dip in temperature, settling at an average of 59.4°F (15.2°C).Heat index
The heat index in August is computed to be a hot 89.6°F (32°C). Prolonged exposure and physical activity might induce exhaustion, potentially causing heat cramps.Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
