Weather in August
Temperature
With August's advent, Rome sees an average high-temperature of a still tropical 88.7°F (31.5°C), subtly shifted from July's 89.2°F (31.8°C). An average low-temperature of 67.6°F (19.8°C) is common during the nights of August.Heat index
For August, the heat index is computed to be a blisteringly hot 105.8°F (41°C). Exercise special caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Prolonged activity may induce heatstroke.Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Youngsters frequently overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is an advanced sign of dehydration - thereby highlighting the importance of keeping hydrated, particularly during long physical activities.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. 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. When the body's heat gain surpasses its removal capacity, body temperature starts to climb, leading to potential heat-related ailments.

Deflect overexposure. Sun protection is a necessity.
