Weather in August
Temperature
Yorktown's temperature records reveal August as the warmest month, marked by average highs of 96.3°F (35.7°C) and lows of 75.6°F (24.2°C).Heat index
For August, the heat index is evaluated at a blazing hot 123.8°F (51°C). Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are quite likely. Heatstroke becomes a risk with continued exertion.In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
