The last month of the summer, August, is another tropical month in Fieldshire, Virginia, with an average temperature fluctuating between 67.6°F (19.8°C) and 87.8°F (31°C).

Temperature

In August, Fieldshire experiences a barely noticeable shift in meteorological conditions, with average high-temperatures moving from 90.1°F (32.3°C) in July to a still tropical 87.8°F (31°C). During the nights in August, the temperature averages to a comfortable 67.6°F (19.8°C).

Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is computed to be a sweltering 100.4°F (38°C). More protective measures are required - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke may follow lengthy activity.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
