August, the last month of the summer in Trenton, is also a hot month, with an average temperature varying between 86°F (30°C) and 66.9°F (19.4°C).

The arrival of August denotes a barely perceptible change in the average high-temperatures to a still hot 86°F (30°C) from July's 87.3°F (30.7°C). Trenton encounters a steady low-temperature average of 66.9°F (19.4°C) throughout the month of August.

Heat index

The heat index value for August is computed to be a torrid 98.6°F (37°C). Adopt extra safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.
In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
