Weather in August
Temperature
With the start of August, Otway measures an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 84.9°F (29.4°C), not significantly differing from July's 86°F (30°C). August nights present a sharp contrast to daytime highs, with average temperatures of 62.1°F (16.7°C).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is calculated to be a torrid 95°F (35°C). Adopt extra safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
