Weather in August
Temperature
The commencement of August brings an average high-temperature of a still warm 81°F (27.2°C), marking an inconsequential divergence from July. Shannon City records an average low-temperature of 63°F (17.2°C) throughout the month of August.Heat index
For August, the heat index is evaluated at a hot 86°F (30°C). Exhaustion might be the outcome of enduring exposure and continuous activity, with a risk of heat cramps.Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children often fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst, being a late symptom of dehydration, underlines the importance of maintaining hydration, especially during ongoing physical activities.
