Weather in August
Temperature
As August takes its course, Ballard's average high-temperature registers at a still warm 81.3°F (27.4°C), closely aligning with the preceding month. Ballard's nighttime average of 57.2°F (14°C) during August reflects a substantial decrease from the daytime temperature.Heat index
The heat index in August is computed to be a tropical 86°F (30°C). Ongoing exposure and activity could lead to a state of exhaustion, with a chance of heat cramps.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
