Weather in August
Temperature
At the onset of August, Parkston records an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 84.4°F (29.1°C), showing little deviation from the preceding month. Parkston logs a notable disparity from the daily highs during August, as the nighttime temperature lowers to an average of 62.6°F (17°C).Heat index
August's mean heat index is calculated to be a hot 89.6°F (32°C). Long-lasting exposure and activity potentially induce a sense of weariness, with the risk of heat cramps.Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
