Weather in August
Temperature
The average high-temperature is a still moderately hot 81.7°F (27.6°C) in August, hardly different from the 82.4°F (28°C) recorded in July. Olds's temperature lowers to a mean of 63.3°F (17.4°C) during the nights in August.Heat index
For August, the heat index is evaluated at a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). If exposure and activity persist, fatigue could ensue, possibly leading to heat cramps.Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
