August, the last month of the summer in South Lowell, is also a hot month, with an average temperature varying between 89.8°F (32.1°C) and 70.2°F (21.2°C).

Temperature

August's beginning signals an average high-temperature of a still hot 89.8°F (32.1°C), barely different from July's 90.3°F (32.4°C). South Lowell records a steady low-temperature average of 70.2°F (21.2°C) during August.

Heat index

August's average heat index is computed to be a blistering 107.6°F (42°C). Ensure heightened precautions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Sustained activity could provoke heatstroke.
Regarding the heat index, one should be aware it's determined by shaded settings and mild winds. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly important for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.

A hat with a generous brim can prevent nearly 50% of UV rays from reaching your eyes.
