August, the last month of the summer in Bristol, is also a moderately hot month, with an average temperature varying between 70.3°F (21.3°C) and 82.9°F (28.3°C).

Temperature

The start of August marks an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 82.9°F (28.3°C), hardly distinguishable from the conditions in July. Throughout August, an average low-temperature of 70.3°F (21.3°C) is expected.

Heat index

For most parts of August, the heat index is computed to be a hot 89.6°F (32°C). Uninterrupted exposure and activity might result in fatigue, potentially causing heat cramps.
Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
