Weather in August
Temperature
During August, Lowgap observes a subtle ascent to a still warm 81.5°F (27.5°C) from July's 82.9°F (28.3°C) in the average high-temperature. Despite drastic daytime highs, Lowgap logs an average low-temperature reading of 59.5°F (15.3°C) throughout August.Heat index
August's heat index is calculated to be a tropical 86°F (30°C). With ongoing exposure and activity, one might experience weariness, and heat cramps could ensue.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
