Weather in August
Temperature
The onset of August in Mount Vernon marks an average high-temperature of a still warm 81.9°F (27.7°C), hardly differing from July's 83.5°F (28.6°C). Throughout August, an average low-temperature of 68.9°F (20.5°C) is experienced in Mount Vernon.Heat index
In August, the average heat index is calculated to be a tropical 86°F (30°C). If one stays active during extended exposure, it might induce fatigue and result in heat cramps.One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
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. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
