Weather in August
Temperature
August's average high-temperature is a still tropical 91°F (32.8°C), maintaining a close comparison with July's 93°F (33.9°C). During August nights, Wellington records an average temperature of 70.3°F (21.3°C).Heat index
The average heat index in August is appraised at a blisteringly hot 104°F (40°C). Heightened precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
