Weather in August
Temperature
A minimal variation is noted in Scotland's average high-temperature at the onset of August, reaching a still tropical 89.8°F (32.1°C) from July's 90.7°F (32.6°C). During August, Scotland witnesses a consistent average low-temperature of 73°F (22.8°C).Heat index
The heat index value for August is appraised at an extremely hot 109.4°F (43°C). Careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. With ongoing exertion, heatstroke becomes a possibility.It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
Perspiring is a crucial mechanism for the human body, allowing it to release excessive warmth through evaporating sweat. 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. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
Humidity
In Scotland, the average relative humidity in August is 76%.Rainfall
The month with the most rainfall is August, when the rain falls for 17.3 days and typically aggregates up to 2.05" (52mm) of precipitation.Snowfall
February through December are months without snowfall.Daylight
The average length of the day in August is 13h and 17min.On the first day of the month, sunrise is at 6:47 am and sunset at 8:28 pm. On the last day of August, sunrise is at 7:06 am and sunset at 7:56 pm EDT.
Sunshine
In August, the average sunshine is 9.7h.UV index
The months with the highest UV index are May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for ordinary individuals.Note: In August, the maximum UV index of 7 suggests this advice:
Avert overexposure. Light-skinned people might experience burning in less than 20 minutes. Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
