Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Dewdrop, is another warm month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 85.3°F (29.6°C) and 62.6°F (17°C).

Temperature

July's transformation into August witnesses an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 85.3°F (29.6°C), noting a minor change from the preceding month. Dewdrop notes a substantial temperature decline from the daytime peaks throughout August, with an average nighttime temperature of 62.6°F (17°C).

Heat index

August's average heat index is estimated at a fiery hot 95°F (35°C). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.
Be informed that the heat index values are oriented around shady conditions and gentle breezes. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.

Your best bet for sun defense on the face, eyes, and neck is a hat with a wide brim.
