Weather in August
Temperature
The transition from July to August sees average high-temperatures adjusting to a still warm 82.8°F (28.2°C), from a not significantly different 83.3°F (28.5°C). During August, Elizabethtown's temperature falls to a steady low-temperature average of 63.3°F (17.4°C).Heat index
In August, the heat index is estimated at a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). If one stays active during extended exposure, it might induce fatigue and result in heat cramps.When referencing the heat index, its values are suitable for shady environments and light breezes. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
