Weather in August
Temperature
Dresden's warmest month, August, registers temperatures that range from a high of 95.5°F (35.3°C) to a low of 75.7°F (24.3°C).Heat index
During August, the heat index is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 113°F (45°C). Alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely to occur. Prolonged exertion can lead to heatstroke.Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
