Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August sees an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 82.8°F (28.2°C), hardly diverging from July's 83.3°F (28.5°C). In the month of August, Petersville records a consistent average low-temperature of 63.3°F (17.4°C).Heat index
In August, the average heat index is evaluated at a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). If one sustains activity during exposure, it could lead to a sense of fatigue, with a chance of heat cramps.Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
