Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Balkan, is another warm month, with an average temperature ranging between max 84.7°F (29.3°C) and min 61.3°F (16.3°C).

Temperature

The weather during August records an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 84.7°F (29.3°C), closely mirroring the preceding month. Despite drastic daily temperature oscillations, Balkan cools down to an average low-temperature of 61.3°F (16.3°C) in August.

Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is computed to be a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Ensure extra safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
