Weather in August
Temperature
August is the month when Glasgow sees the highest average temperatures, with a high of 30°C (86°F) and a low of 27.8°C (82°F).Heat index
The heat index for August is calculated to be a torrid 36°C (96.8°F). Implement additional cautionary measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could occur. Prolonged activity might induce heatstroke.Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
