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.

Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. 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 particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
