Weather in August
Temperature
Welcoming August, Metcalf notes an average high-temperature of a still warm 81°F (27.2°C), nearly consistent with July's 82.4°F (28°C). An average low-temperature of 61.9°F (16.6°C) is noted during the month of August.Heat index
The average heat index in August is evaluated at a hot 86°F (30°C). Unrelenting activity during exposure could cause fatigue and potentially lead to heat cramps.For clarity, heat index numbers account for light winds and areas under shade. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. 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 highly important for children. 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.
