Weather in August
Temperature
August's presence records an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 82°F (27.8°C), closely mirroring July's climate. In Blockton, August's nights observe an average temperature dip to a comfortable 63.5°F (17.5°C).Heat index
The average heat index in August is appraised at a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). Continuous exposure and activity could induce a sense of tiredness and subsequently, heat cramps.Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
