Weather in August

As Shanhaiguan, China, steps into August, the average high-temperature holds at a still warm 28.2°C (82.8°F), hinting at a minor fluctuation from the prior month. In the month of August, the nighttime temperature dips to a steady average of 21.7°C (71.1°F).Heat index
August's average heat index is computed to be a tropical 31°C (87.8°F). If one stays active during extended exposure, it might induce fatigue and result in heat cramps.Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
