Weather in August
Temperature
August's climate shows a minor adjustment in average high-temperatures to a warm 85.8°F (29.9°C) from July's 87.4°F (30.8°C). In Florence, the expected average low-temperature for August is a refreshing 65.8°F (18.8°C).Heat index
During August, the heat index is estimated at a very hot 96.8°F (36°C). Take more preventive steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is elevated. Long activity may culminate in heatstroke.It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.
