Weather in August
Temperature
The ushering in of August brings an average high-temperature of a warm 85.6°F (29.8°C), closely mirroring the 87.4°F (30.8°C) of July. Dunn Loring, in the month of August, anticipates a consistent average low-temperature of 67.6°F (19.8°C).Heat index
For August, the heat index is computed to be a very hot 95°F (35°C). Heightened safety actions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may lead to heatstroke.Regarding the heat index, one should be aware it's determined by shaded settings and mild winds. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
