Weather in August
Temperature
Altamont experiences a transition to a still moderately hot 80.8°F (27.1°C) in average high-temperatures with the arrival of August, not greatly differing from July's 82°F (27.8°C). Altamont's average nighttime temperature descends significantly from the day's peak in August, settling at a frosty 48.4°F (9.1°C).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is calculated to be 80.6°F (27°C). Long-lasting exposure and activity potentially induce a sense of weariness, with the risk of heat cramps.Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
