Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Chester, is also a moderately hot month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 85.6°F (29.8°C) and 64.2°F (17.9°C).

Temperature

Chester's average high-temperature marks a warm 85.6°F (29.8°C) with the advent of August, closely mirroring that of the preceding month. An average low-temperature of 64.2°F (17.9°C) is anticipated throughout the nights in Chester during August.

Heat index

August's heat index is estimated at a torrid 95°F (35°C). Exercise special caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Prolonged activity may induce heatstroke.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
