Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Roxbury, is another tropical month, with an average temperature varying between 68.4°F (20.2°C) and 89.1°F (31.7°C).

Temperature

With the start of August, Roxbury measures an average high-temperature of a still tropical 89.1°F (31.7°C), not significantly differing from July's 91.9°F (33.3°C). Throughout the month of August, Roxbury witnesses an average temperature of 68.4°F (20.2°C).

Heat index

For most parts of August, the heat index is estimated at a sweltering 100.4°F (38°C). Take more preventive steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is elevated. Long activity may culminate in heatstroke.
Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Juveniles are regularly less conscious of the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a tardy symptom of dehydration - hydration, especially during lengthy physical activities, should be maintained.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

A hat with a generous brim can prevent nearly 50% of UV rays from reaching your eyes.
