Weather in August
August, the last month of the summer in Dresden, is a torrid month, with an average temperature ranging between min 75.7°F (24.3°C) and max 95.5°F (35.3°C).Temperature
In Dresden, August is identified by the highest average temperatures, reaching a peak of 95.5°F (35.3°C) and a low of 75.7°F (24.3°C).Heat index
The average heat index in August is estimated at a burning hot 113°F (45°C). Stay vigilant: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke may follow prolonged exertion.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.

Your best bet for sun defense on the face, eyes, and neck is a hat with a wide brim.
