Weather in August
Temperature
August reports an average high-temperature of a still warm 84.2°F (29°C), slightly varied from July's 85.1°F (29.5°C). In Rectorville, an average nighttime temperature of 63.1°F (17.3°C) is expected during August.Heat index
The heat index value for August is evaluated at a hot 93.2°F (34°C). Greater safety measures are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Continuous activity might trigger heatstroke.Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to 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.
