Weather in August

August in Metmárfag holds onto the summer with an iron grip. The city continues to reel from high temperatures and extended degrees of sunlight, while the laden humidity can make the heat feel oppressive. Despite harboring less daylight hours compared to July, the sun remains dominant, frequently warranting sunscreen and hydration. Unexpectedly, August indeed sees a sharp upsurge in precipitation, distinguished by a rainfall of 9mm (0.35").

Temperature

In Metmárfag, temperatures reach their average annual highs in August, measuring 30.5°C (86.9°F) and a minimum average of 21.3°C (70.3°F).

Heat index

The heat index in August is computed to be a torrid 35°C (95°F). Heightened precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
Be informed that the heat index values are oriented around shady conditions and gentle breezes. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
