Weather in August
Temperature
As Chatham transitions into August, the average high-temperature stands at a still warm 83.7°F (28.7°C), offering little variation from the preceding month. During August, Chatham's temperature falls to a steady low-temperature average of 63.1°F (17.3°C).Heat index
In August, the heat index is computed to be a hot 91.4°F (33°C). More safety actions are required, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Long-term activity may precipitate heatstroke.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.

Incorporate safeguards and honour sun safety principles. Protection from skin and eye damage is obligatory. Avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide full protection. For excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck, consider a wide-brim hat.
