Weather in August
Temperature
As Murray welcomes August, the average high-temperature stabilizes at a still moderately hot 81.7°F (27.6°C), showing little deviation from July's 83.3°F (28.5°C). Murray's nighttime temperature in August falls to an average of 63.1°F (17.3°C).Heat index
The heat index value during August is evaluated at a hot 87.8°F (31°C). Continued exposure and engagement in activity might trigger tiredness and subsequently heat cramps.Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
