Weather in August
Temperature
In August, Melrose experiences a minor shift in meteorological conditions with average high-temperatures marked at a still tropical 90.1°F (32.3°C), closely mirroring the climate in July. From significant daily highs, Melrose's nights in August cool down to an average low-temperature of 68.2°F (20.1°C).Heat index
For August, the heat index is calculated to be a tropical 93.2°F (34°C). More safety actions are required, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Long-term activity may precipitate heatstroke.When referencing the heat index, its values are suitable for shady environments and light breezes. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
