Weather in August
Temperature
The onset of August manifests an average high-temperature of a still tropical 88°F (31.1°C), demonstrating a minor variation from the preceding month. Fort Lee encounters an average low-temperature of 68.4°F (20.2°C) during August nights.Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is evaluated at a torrid 100.4°F (38°C). Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. 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. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
