Weather in August
Temperature
The commencement of August brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 86.5°F (30.3°C), marking an inconsequential divergence from July. Moss's average nighttime temperature descends significantly from the day's peak in August, settling at a comfortable 64.9°F (18.3°C).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is calculated to be a torrid 98.6°F (37°C). Exercise enhanced safety steps, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke could be a result of sustained activity.Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. 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 are particularly relevant to children. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
