Weather in August
Temperature
Mount Vernon starts August with an average high-temperature of a still tropical 89.8°F (32.1°C), a minor shift from July's 90.7°F (32.6°C). In August, Mount Vernon reports a consistent average low-temperature of 73°F (22.8°C) during the nights.Heat index
The heat index value for August is computed to be a scorching 109.4°F (43°C). Take caution: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may be imminent with ongoing effort.From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
