Weather in August
Temperature
Sofia experiences a subtle adjustment in high-temperatures to a still hot 86.4°F (30.2°C) with the onset of August, maintaining near parity with July's 88.5°F (31.4°C). During the nights in August, the temperature averages to a comfortable 65.3°F (18.5°C).Heat index
August's heat index is calculated to be a hot 87.8°F (31°C). With unrelenting exposure and activity, one might experience exhaustion, leading to potential heat cramps.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
