Weather for the month of August, 2018

A weather summary for the month of August in Hacienda El Paseo/Grecia during the period from the beginning of April to the end of August appears below.

There is not much to observe. Where we live, daytime high temperatures over about 80°F (26.7°C) are usually accompanied by relatively low humidities. Often, the result is a comfortable "feels like" temperature which is less than the actual air temperature. This was the case on the one day in August when the temperature reached 90°F (32.2°C).

In contrast, overnight lows which tend to occur around the time of sunrise are typically accompanied by relatively high humidities. The result as in the case of 62°F (16.7°C) on one August day can be very chilly and feel colder than it actually is - but at worst dictates nothing more than a warm sweater or jacket.

There were fewer days with measurable rainfall in August than in July, but the total amount in August was greater. The final week was characterized by clouds, overcast and drizzling rain on several days - reminiscent of typical winter days in Vancouver, Canada from where we came.
