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, 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
August's onset records a minor alteration in the average high-temperature to a moderately hot 29°C from
July's 30°C. Priozersk's temperature in August declines substantially from daytime highs, settling at a consistent average of 16°C during the nights.
Heat index
The heat index for August is computed to be 29°C. With constant exposure and activity, a state of weariness might ensue, leading to potential heat cramps.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
