Weather in August
Temperature
The start of August in Elkton sees the average high-temperature at a still warm 82.8°F (28.2°C), showing little difference from July's 84.7°F (29.3°C). Elkton, during the month of August, experiences an average low-temperature of 65.8°F (18.8°C).Heat index
August's mean heat index is calculated to be a hot 89.6°F (32°C). Prolonged exposure combined with continuous activity could lead to exhaustion, and possibly heat cramps.Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for 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.
