Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Gray, is another warm month, with an average temperature varying between 83.5°F (28.6°C) and 67.3°F (19.6°C).

Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is computed to be a hot 89.6°F (32°C). With ongoing exposure and activity, one might experience weariness, and heat cramps could ensue.
Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. 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 'feels like', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. 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 primarily vital for children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
