Weather in August
Temperature
With August's advent, Nelson sees an average high-temperature of a warm 85.5°F (29.7°C), subtly shifted from July's 86.5°F (30.3°C). In the month of August, the average temperature in Nelson dips to an enjoyable 65.8°F (18.8°C) during the night.Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is appraised at a torrid 96.8°F (36°C). Heightened safety actions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may lead to heatstroke.Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
