Weather in August
Temperature
The advent of August reveals an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 82.8°F (28.2°C), showing minimal difference from the prior month. Glasgow reports a substantial plunge from daytime highs during the nights of August, with an average low-temperature of 59.4°F (15.2°C).Heat index
The heat index value during August is estimated at a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). If one stays active during extended exposure, it might induce fatigue and result in heat cramps.The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, 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.

Sidestep overexposure. Individuals with fair complexions risk burning in fewer than 20 minutes. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, and note that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer full sun protection. Counter UV radiation's ill effects with clothing designed for sun safety and UV-resistant eyewear.
