August continues the prevailing summer trend albeit with a slight dip in the temperature. Although the city drenches in sunlight for up to 14.1 hours, the reduction in daylight hours suggests that summer is beginning to fade. With decreased rainfall measuring around 23mm (0.91"), August marks the end of the wet season in
Priozersk. Though the humidity level remains moderate, it's a far cry from the damp conditions of the preceding months. The decline in temperature and rainfall carries forward into
September, which welcomes the onset of Autumn.
Temperature
The dawn of August sees an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 29°C (84.2°F), subtly contrasting with
July's 30°C (86°F). Priozersk observes a substantial disparity between daytime high and the average low-temperature of 16°C (60.8°F) during August nights.
Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is calculated to be 29°C (84.2°F). Enduring exposure and continuous activity might cause a feeling of tiredness and induce heat cramps.
Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild winds. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
