Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Melrose, is also a hot month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 90.9°F (32.7°C) and 74.8°F (23.8°C).

Temperature

The beginning of August records an average high-temperature of a still hot 90.9°F (32.7°C), almost echoing the conditions of the previous month. During August nights, Melrose records an average temperature of 74.8°F (23.8°C).

Heat index

The heat index value for August is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 114.8°F (46°C). Keep on guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is a possible danger with ongoing physical activity.
Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
