Weather in August
Temperature
As Mount Vernon welcomes August, the average high-temperature records at a still tropical 89.8°F (32.1°C), marking an insignificant deviation from the prior month. Mount Vernon observes an average low-temperature of 73°F (22.8°C) during August nights.Heat index
The heat index in August is computed to be a blisteringly hot 109.4°F (43°C). Stay vigilant: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke may follow prolonged exertion.In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the average person.Note: In August, the UV index of 7 transforms into the following advice:
Shield from overexposure. Defense against sun-related harm is required. Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
