Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Moscow, is another tropical month, with an average temperature ranging between min 67.8°F (19.9°C) and max 86.5°F (30.3°C).

Temperature

August denotes a minimal variation in the average high-temperature to a still tropical 86.5°F (30.3°C) from July's 88°F (31.1°C). In the month of August, an average of 67.8°F (19.9°C) marks the low-temperature.

Heat index

In August, the heat index is evaluated at a torrid 98.6°F (37°C). Heightened safety actions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may lead to heatstroke.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.

In August, the average relative humidity is 76%.

UV index

Note: In August, the maximum UV index of 6 suggests these recommendations:
Guard oneself from overexposure. Defence against sun injury is vital. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. Sun-related eye harm can be minimized with proper sunglasses offering UVA and UVB coverage.
