Temperature
The advent of August in
Luhansk observes an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 28.2°C (82.8°F), nearly identical to July's 28.7°C (83.7°F). A sharp contrast between day and night is prevalent in August with an average nighttime temperature of 14.5°C (58.1°F).
Heat index
August's mean heat index is computed to be a hot 30°C (86°F). Ongoing activity coupled with exposure often results in weariness and could induce heat cramps.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
