Weather in August
Temperature
The transition from July to August sees average high-temperatures adjusting to a still warm 83.1°F (28.4°C), from a not significantly different 84.7°F (29.3°C). Aberdeen, in August, displays a significant temperature downturn during the night, with an average reading of 61°F (16.1°C).Heat index
The heat index value for August is estimated at a hot 86°F (30°C). Persistently participating in activities during exposure may lead to fatigue and induce heat cramps.It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
