Weather in August
Temperature
Whitsitt's weather in August indicates an average high-temperature of a still hot 91.4°F (33°C), nearly consistent with the 91.9°F (33.3°C) of July. During August nights, Whitsitt witnesses a consistent average temperature of 72°F (22.2°C).Heat index
August's average heat index is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 113°F (45°C). Caution: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Sustained activity could lead to heatstroke.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. 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 'feels like', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. 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 quite important for babies and toddlers. 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.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.

Avoid excessive sunlight. Those with lighter skin may experience burning in less than 20 minutes. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. Sun-related eye harm can be minimized with proper sunglasses offering UVA and UVB coverage.
