Weather in August
Temperature
Virden registers an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 82°F (27.8°C) with the arrival of August, showing minor deviation from the preceding month. An average low-temperature of 64.8°F (18.2°C) is noted during the nights in August.Heat index
August's mean heat index is estimated at a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). Long-standing exposure coupled with ongoing activity could result in exhaustion, possibly causing heat cramps.It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital 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.
