Weather in August
Temperature
During August, Cambridge observes a subtle ascent to a still hot 89.2°F (31.8°C) from July's 91.6°F (33.1°C) in the average high-temperature. An average nighttime temperature of 68.7°F (20.4°C) is noted during the month of August.Heat index
For August, the heat index is estimated at a very hot 100.4°F (38°C). Ensure extra safety steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Long activity might lead to heatstroke.The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
