Temperature
August's onset in Shenyang sees an average high-temperature of a still warm 28.4°C (83.1°F), exhibiting a slight fluctuation from the previous month. Throughout August nights, Shenyang experiences a consistent temperature average of 19.3°C (66.7°F).
Heat index
In August, the average heat index is computed to be a tropical 33°C (91.4°F). Implement more preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke might result from extended activity.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.

Take special precautions, as unprotected eyes and skin can be burned and damaged quickly. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Fend off the sun's harsh rays with appropriate clothing, a wide-brim hat, and UV-protective sunglasses.
