Weather in August
Temperature
Nelson starts August with an average high-temperature of a still hot 86.5°F (30.3°C), hinting at a minimal fluctuation from July. Despite the significant gap from daytime peaks, Nelson experiences an average low-temperature of 64.9°F (18.3°C) in August.Heat index
The heat index for August is computed to be a fiery hot 98.6°F (37°C). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly important for children. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
