Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Florence, is another tropical month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 72.3°F (22.4°C) and 91.8°F (33.2°C).

Temperature

August is marked by an average high-temperature of a still tropical 91.8°F (33.2°C), almost identical to the preceding month. An average low-temperature of 72.3°F (22.4°C) is noted during the nights in August in Florence.

Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is computed to be a burning hot 113°F (45°C). Be careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may result from extended activity.
Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
