Weather in August
Temperature
The Dales records an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 83.7°F (28.7°C) in August, closely mirroring the climate of the previous month. August's nights observe an average temperature of 69.1°F (20.6°C).Heat index
August's average heat index is evaluated at a hot 91.4°F (33°C). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
