Weather in August
Temperature
Upon the onset of August, Melrose witnesses an average high-temperature of a still hot 86.7°F (30.4°C), showing a close resemblance to the prior month. Melrose experiences a significant reduction from daytime highs with an average low-temperature of 64.4°F (18°C) in August.Heat index
For August, the heat index is appraised at a very hot 98.6°F (37°C). More protective measures are required - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke may follow lengthy activity.The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
