Weather in August
Temperature
Yards, Virginia, measures an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 80.8°F (27.1°C) in August, nearly consistent with the preceding month. Despite considerable daily temperature swings, a steady low-temperature average of 57.6°F (14.2°C) is noted throughout August.Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is evaluated at a hot 86°F (30°C). Uninterrupted activity during exposure could lead to a sense of exhaustion, possibly causing heat cramps.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
