Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Hunter, is another tropical month, with an average temperature ranging between min 72.1°F (22.3°C) and max 90.9°F (32.7°C).

Temperature

Hunter marks the start of August with an average high-temperature of a still hot 90.9°F (32.7°C), hinting at a slight fluctuation from July's 91.9°F (33.3°C). In the month of August, the temperature generally rests at an average low of 72.1°F (22.3°C).

Heat index

The heat index in August is estimated at a blisteringly hot 111.2°F (44°C). Mind: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are anticipated. Heatstroke can develop with continued physical activity.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
