Weather in August
Temperature
The average high-temperature during August registers at a still moderately hot 84.4°F (29.1°C), closely corresponding to the preceding month. Scotland experiences a consistent, yet significant, drop from daily highs to a low-temperature of 62.6°F (17°C) throughout August.Heat index
The heat index value during August is computed to be a hot 89.6°F (32°C). Enduring exposure and unrelenting activity might cause a state of weariness, potentially leading to heat cramps.Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young ones often do not realize the necessity to rest and replenish their fluids. Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
