Weather in August
Temperature
In August, the average high-temperature registers at a still warm 80.6°F (27°C), nearly identical to July's 82°F (27.8°C). During August, Wakefield sees a mean low-temperature of 63.3°F (17.4°C).Heat index
The heat index in August is estimated at 84.2°F (29°C). Persistent activity under exposure might lead to a feeling of weariness, with subsequent heat cramps.Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. 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.
