Weather in August
Temperature
Abingdon marks the start of August with an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 81.7°F (27.6°C), hinting at a slight fluctuation from July's 82.4°F (28°C). Abingdon undergoes a major shift from daytime highs, averaging a mild 57.9°F (14.4°C) during the night in August.Heat index
In August, the average heat index is evaluated at a hot 87.8°F (31°C). With prolonged exposure and constant activity, one might feel exhausted and experience heat cramps.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
