Weather in August
Temperature
At the start of August, Huntington's average high-temperature reaches a warm 85.6°F (29.8°C), subtly different from the preceding month. Huntington records an average temperature drop to a comfortable 67.6°F (19.8°C) in August.Heat index
The heat index value during August is calculated to be a fiery hot 95°F (35°C). Take extra safety measures to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Heatstroke could follow lengthy activity.The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. 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.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

Resist overexposure. Safeguarding from solar damage is indispensable. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation. Limit direct exposure to the Sun during these hours. Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays.
