Weather in August
Temperature
During August, Athol records an average high-temperature of a warm 85.3°F (29.6°C), marking a slight divergence from July's 87.1°F (30.6°C). An average low-temperature of 66.2°F (19°C) is expected during August.Heat index
The heat index value during August is estimated at a fiery hot 95°F (35°C). Adopt heightened preventive measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Persistent activity could lead to heatstroke.Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
Perspiring is a crucial mechanism for the human body, allowing it to release excessive warmth through evaporating sweat. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.
