Weather in August
Temperature
The advent of August brings an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 84.4°F (29.1°C), exhibiting minor difference from the previous month. Nightly readings in August display a noticeable downturn from daily highs in Doland, with the average low-temperature registering a refreshing 61.3°F (16.3°C).Heat index
August's average heat index is calculated to be a hot 89.6°F (32°C). Persisting in activity during long-term exposure might induce weariness, with subsequent heat cramps.Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
