Weather in August
Temperature
Otway observes an average high-temperature of a warm 84.9°F (29.4°C) in August, barely different from 86°F (30°C) in July. With a significant temperature contrast, nighttime temperatures hover around an average low of 62.1°F (16.7°C) in August.Heat index
August's average heat index is estimated at a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Extra safeguards are necessary to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Prolonged activity might cause heatstroke.One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.
