Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Lyra, is also a moderately hot month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 62.2°F (16.8°C) and 85.1°F (29.5°C).

Temperature

Stepping into August, Lyra records an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 85.1°F (29.5°C), almost consistent with July. Lyra, after hot August days, encounters a marked drop to an average nighttime temperature of 62.2°F (16.8°C).

Heat index

August's heat index is computed to be a torrid 95°F (35°C). Incorporate additional safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Long-term activity may induce heatstroke.
Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.
