Still exhibiting high temperatures around 82.8°F (28.2°C), August sees the continuation of sunny days.

Temperature

In August, Aberdeen experiences a minor shift in meteorological conditions with average high-temperatures marked at a still moderately hot 82.8°F (28.2°C), closely mirroring the climate in July. August in Aberdeen sees the temperature falling to a mean low of 65.8°F (18.8°C).

Heat index

The heat index value during August is evaluated at a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). A sense of exhaustion might occur with extended exposure and activity, potentially causing heat cramps.
It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
