Weather in August

Stepping into August, Bolton records an average high-temperature of a still hot 87.4°F (30.8°C), almost consistent with July. An average low-temperature of 71.4°F (21.9°C) is noted during the nights in August.Heat index
In August, the average heat index is evaluated at a blistering 104°F (40°C). Undertake extra safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke may result from lengthy activity.In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
