Weather in August
Temperature
Somerville's August showcases an average high-temperature of a still hot 88.3°F (31.3°C), hardly distinct from July's 89.1°F (31.7°C). The temperature dips to an average of 68.9°F (20.5°C) during August nights.Heat index
During August, the heat index is appraised at an extremely hot 104°F (40°C). Heightened precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.

Guard against overexposure. Protection from sun-induced harm is essential. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the period of highest UV radiation. Remember, however, that not all shade structures offer full protection. For effective sun eye protection, rely on sunglasses certified for UVA and UVB resistance.
