Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Arthur, is also a moderately hot month, with an average temperature varying between 63.9°F (17.7°C) and 81.1°F (27.3°C).

Temperature

Heat index

For most parts of August, the heat index is calculated to be a hot 87.8°F (31°C). If one persists in activity during exposure, it could induce weariness and subsequently, heat cramps.
Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
