Weather in August
Temperature
August's arrival signals a modest temperature shift, moving from a moderately hot 24°C (75.2°F) in July to a still warm 27.8°C (82°F). Darwendale anticipates a stark contrast in temperature during August nights, with an average low of 12.3°C (54.1°F).Heat index
The average heat index in August is evaluated at 28°C (82.4°F). With extended exposure and activity, one might feel exhausted and experience heat cramps.It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
