Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August is marked by an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 82.6°F (28.1°C), bearing a close resemblance to July. During August, Vandalia experiences a consistent low-temperature average of 65.1°F (18.4°C).Heat index
The heat index in August is appraised at a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). Continuous exposure and activity could induce a sense of tiredness and subsequently, heat cramps.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
