Weather in August
Temperature
The shift into August reveals an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 85.6°F (29.8°C), closely mirroring July's climate. Morgantown experiences an average nighttime temperature of 66.6°F (19.2°C) in the month of August.Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is evaluated at a torrid 96.8°F (36°C). Adopt additional preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential outcomes. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. 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.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
