Weather in August
Temperature
The beginning of August reveals an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 81.5°F (27.5°C), showing minimal deviation from the previous month. Despite the stark contrast with daytime temperatures, Swiss's August nights average at a mild 58.5°F (14.7°C).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is appraised at a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). Remaining active during long-lasting exposure could cause fatigue, leading to heat cramps.For clarity, heat index numbers account for light winds and areas under shade. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
