Weather in August
Temperature
Otranto's shift into August is marked by a subtle change to a still hot 89.4°F (31.9°C) from July's 90.5°F (32.5°C) in temperature. During August, the average low-temperature is a moderately hot 75.4°F (24.1°C).Heat index
The heat index value during August is calculated to be a scorching 107.6°F (42°C). Undertake extra safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke may result from lengthy activity.It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.
