Weather in August
Temperature
As Wakefield welcomes August, the average high-temperature is noted at a still warm 80.6°F (27°C), closely aligning with the preceding month. During August, the nighttime temperature averages of 63.3°F (17.4°C).Heat index
During August, the heat index is appraised at 84.2°F (29°C). One might feel worn out with persistent exposure and activity, resulting in heat cramps.It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
