Weather in August
Temperature
The average high-temperature is a still warm 82.8°F (28.2°C) in August, hardly different from the 85.3°F (29.6°C) recorded in July. In August, Worcester reports a consistent average low-temperature of 65.3°F (18.5°C) during the nights.Heat index
The heat index value during August is evaluated at a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). With extended exposure and activity, one might feel exhausted and experience heat cramps.Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.

Steer clear of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can be scorched in less than 20 minutes. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., UV radiation is strongest. Make an effort to avoid direct sunlight during this time, remembering that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Consider a wide-brim hat essential for effective sun defense covering your face, neck, and eyes.
