Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Ireland, is also a moderately hot month, with an average temperature varying between 81.5°F (27.5°C) and 59.4°F (15.2°C).

Temperature

The arrival of August sees a recorded average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 81.5°F (27.5°C), showing little divergence from the previous month's conditions. Ireland, after hot August days, encounters a marked drop to an average nighttime temperature of 59.4°F (15.2°C).

Heat index

August's heat index is appraised at a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). Long-standing exposure coupled with ongoing activity could result in exhaustion, possibly causing heat cramps.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. 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 hold great significance to 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.

Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. Employ a hat with a wide brim for robust protection, cutting UV exposure by half.
