Weather in August
Temperature
With the onset of August, the average high-temperature stands at a still moderately hot 82.9°F (28.3°C), closely aligned with July's 84.7°F (29.3°C). Scotland's nights in August experience an average temperature drop to an agreeable 71.6°F (22°C).Heat index
The heat index value during August is estimated at a hot 89.6°F (32°C). Extended exposure and activity might lead to tiredness, potentially resulting in heat cramps.It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
