The introduction of August sees an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 82.9°F (28.3°C), hardly deviating from July. Nightly readings in August display a noticeable downturn from daily highs in Andover, with the average low-temperature registering a refreshing 59.5°F (15.3°C).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is estimated at a hot 89.6°F (32°C). Persisting in activity during exposure could lead to weariness and subsequently to heat cramps.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
