Weather in August
Temperature
With the advent of August, Melbourne's high-temperatures adjust to a still tropical 89.2°F (31.8°C), closely aligning with the preceding month. In August, the temperature drops to an average of 68°F (20°C) at night.Heat index
The average heat index in August is estimated at an extremely hot 105.8°F (41°C). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.

The average relative humidity in August is 73%.Rainfall
In August, the rain falls for 16.3 days. Throughout August, 3.15" (80mm) of precipitation is accumulated. Throughout the year, there are 155.8 rainfall days, and 35.2" (894mm) of precipitation is accumulated.Snowfall

Sunshine
In August, the average sunshine is 10.3h.UV index
The months with the highest UV index are May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.Note: The UV index of 6 during August leads to these advisories:
Shield from overexposure. Defense against sun-related harm is required. Limit your exposure to the sun's UV radiation, which is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and note that parasols or canopies may not provide full sun protection. Boost your sun resistance with garments that are densely woven yet spacious.
