Weather in August
Temperature
August's onset records an average high-temperature of a still warm 84.4°F (29.1°C), a near match to July's 85.1°F (29.5°C). Paris records a consistent low-temperature of 64°F (17.8°C) during August nights.Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is computed to be a tropical 93.2°F (34°C). Implement additional preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Heatstroke could follow prolonged activity.It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
