Weather in August
Temperature
The commencement of August introduces an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 84.9°F (29.4°C), closely mirroring the preceding month. In August, the nighttime temperature in Virginia lowers to an average of 66.2°F (19°C).Heat index
August's average heat index is computed to be a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Use additional protective measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible outcomes. Continuous activity might lead to heatstroke.Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. When relative humidity is heightened, it slows the rate of evaporation, thereby decreasing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a sensation of overheating. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
