Weather in August
Temperature
The advent of August denotes an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 80.6°F (27°C), subtly different from July's 82.4°F (28°C). During August, Poquonock records a consistent average nighttime temperature of 61.2°F (16.2°C).Heat index
The heat index in August is evaluated at 84.2°F (29°C). Long-standing exposure coupled with ongoing activity could result in exhaustion, possibly causing heat cramps.Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
