Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Scotland, is another hot month, with an average temperature ranging between max 91.9°F (33.3°C) and min 72.1°F (22.3°C).

Temperature

The shift into August records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 91.9°F (33.3°C), subtly varied from July's 92.3°F (33.5°C). In Scotland, an average nighttime temperature of 72.1°F (22.3°C) is expected during August.

Heat index

In August, the average heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 116.6°F (47°C). Stay on guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Ongoing effort can cause heatstroke.
Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Children frequently do not comprehend the need for rest and hydration. Thirst is an advanced stage of dehydration - staying hydrated, especially during extended physical exercises, is essential.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

Note: In August, a daily UV index of 7 turns into the following recommendations:
Guard against overexposure. Protection from sun-induced harm is essential. Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. For a sun-safe wardrobe, go for clothes that are tightly woven and generously sized.
