Weather in August
Temperature
August's advent notes a subtle adjustment in average high-temperature to a still moderately hot 81.1°F (27.3°C) from July. Peoria, during the month of August, experiences an average low-temperature of 63.3°F (17.4°C).Heat index
The heat index for August is estimated at a hot 87.8°F (31°C). If activity and exposure persist, they could induce fatigue, leading to possible heat cramps.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
