Weather in August
Temperature
During August, Waneta observes a subtle ascent to a still warm 84.4°F (29.1°C) from July's 85.6°F (29.8°C) in the average high-temperature. An average temperature of 63.7°F (17.6°C) marks the nights in August.Heat index
August's average heat index is calculated to be a tropical 93.2°F (34°C). Implement additional cautionary measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could occur. Prolonged activity might induce heatstroke.Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
