Weather in August
Temperature
As July transitions into August, the average high-temperature rests at a still moderately hot 80.8°F (27.1°C), maintaining a close resemblance to the previous month. Blackstone observes an average low-temperature of 61.5°F (16.4°C) during August.Heat index
For August, the heat index is estimated at a hot 86°F (30°C). Enduring exposure and continuous activity might cause a feeling of tiredness and induce heat cramps.It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
