Weather in August
Temperature
Upon the beginning of August, Athol's high-temperatures register at a still hot 88.7°F (31.5°C), closely mirroring the preceding month. Athol's average low-temperature of 66.2°F (19°C) in August reflects a considerable decline from the daytime peak.Heat index
The heat index in August is appraised at a torrid 96.8°F (36°C). Adopt heightened preventive measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Persistent activity could lead to heatstroke.It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
