Weather in August
Temperature
The average high-temperature during August is a warm 85.6°F (29.8°C), almost matching the conditions of the preceding month. Morgantown's temperature lowers to a mean of 66.6°F (19.2°C) during the nights in August.Heat index
The heat index for August is appraised at a very hot 96.8°F (36°C). Ensure heightened precautions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Sustained activity could provoke heatstroke.Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
Humans rely on perspiration as a cooling mechanism, wherein the evaporating sweat counteracts excessive warmth. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.
