Weather in August
Temperature
Germantown's transition from July to August introduces an average high-temperature of a warm 84.6°F (29.2°C), marking an insignificant variation from the 86.5°F (30.3°C). Throughout the month of August, Germantown reports a steady low-temperature average of 65.5°F (18.6°C).Heat index
During August, the heat index is calculated to be a tropical 93.2°F (34°C). Undertake special precautions, the probability of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Prolonged activity may provoke heatstroke.Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
