Weather in August
Temperature
The average high-temperature is a still moderately hot 81.9°F (27.7°C) in August, hardly different from the 84°F (28.9°C) recorded in July. In Vesuvius, an average low-temperature of 60.4°F (15.8°C) is recorded during August nights.Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is calculated to be a hot 87.8°F (31°C). Ongoing exposure and activity could lead to a state of exhaustion, with a chance of heat cramps.One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Children often fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst, being a late symptom of dehydration, underlines the importance of maintaining hydration, especially during ongoing physical activities.
