Weather in August

With August's arrival, Duxbury's weather records an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 83.1°F (28.4°C), marking little difference from July's 84.7°F (29.3°C). Duxbury anticipates a pronounced temperature drop from daily highs during the nights of August, with an average low of 61°F (16.1°C).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is evaluated at a tropical 86°F (30°C). If one stays active during extended exposure, it might induce fatigue and result in heat cramps.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
