Weather in August
Temperature
The onset of August marks an average high-temperature of a warm 85.3°F (29.6°C), hardly differing from July's 86.7°F (30.4°C). Despite drastic daily temperature oscillations, Harvard cools down to an average low-temperature of 63.1°F (17.3°C) in August.Heat index
The heat index in August is evaluated at a tropical 93.2°F (34°C). Implement additional preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Heatstroke could follow prolonged activity.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.

Guard oneself from overexposure. Defence against sun injury is vital. The Sun's UV radiation is most intense from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. For excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck, consider a wide-brim hat.
