Weather in August
Temperature
Entering August, Florence's average high-temperature reads a still hot 88.3°F (31.3°C), indicating a close resemblance to the previous month's climate. Florence, in August, experiences an average temperature of 71.2°F (21.8°C) at night.Heat index
In August, the average heat index is computed to be a scorching 105.8°F (41°C). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
