Weather in August
Temperature
Whitesville's August showcases an average high-temperature of a still tropical 87.4°F (30.8°C), hardly distinct from July's 88.2°F (31.2°C). Nighttime temperatures hover around an average low of 67.6°F (19.8°C) in August.Heat index
The heat index value for August is calculated to be a torrid 102.2°F (39°C). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
