Weather in August
Temperature
August brings a marginal elevation to a still warm 81°F (27.2°C) from July's 82.9°F (28.3°C) in Creston's average high-temperatures. The average temperature during August nights is registered at an enjoyable 63°F (17.2°C).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is estimated at a tropical 86°F (30°C). Long-standing exposure and activity could induce a feeling of tiredness and lead to heat cramps.The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
