The ushering in of August brings an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 81.3°F (27.4°C), closely mirroring the 83.8°F (28.8°C) of July. Oxford experiences an average low-temperature of 64°F (17.8°C) in the month of August.

Heat index

During August, the heat index is calculated to be a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). Continuous exposure and activity could induce a sense of tiredness and subsequently, heat cramps.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
