Weather in August
Temperature
As Vienna steps into August, the average high-temperature is measured at a moderately hot 85.8°F (29.9°C), displaying minor differences from July's 88°F (31.1°C). An average low-temperature of 66.9°F (19.4°C) is noted during the month of August.Heat index
For August, the heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Exercise increased caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. 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 are especially vital to children. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.

Fend off overexposure. Sun protection is vital. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this time. Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays.
