Weather in August
Temperature
Worthington experiences an average high-temperature of a warm 85.6°F (29.8°C) with the onset of August, subtly varied from July's 87.3°F (30.7°C). With a notable disparity from daily peak temperatures, the average low-temperature settles at a refreshing 62.8°F (17.1°C) throughout August.Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is estimated at a torrid 96.8°F (36°C). Incorporate special precautions, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is substantial. Sustained activity could cause heatstroke.Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
