Weather in August
Temperature
In August, the average high-temperature registers at a still warm 84.2°F (29°C), nearly identical to July's 85.5°F (29.7°C). Sharlow experiences a significant downturn from peak daytime temperatures throughout August, with the average low-temperature dipping to a moderate 60.6°F (15.9°C).Heat index
In August, the average heat index is appraised at a tropical 93.2°F (34°C). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. 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 particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. 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.
