Weather in August
Temperature
North East's weather in August indicates an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 82.8°F (28.2°C), nearly consistent with the 84.7°F (29.3°C) of July. In August, the nighttime temperature lowers to an average of 65.7°F (18.7°C).Heat index
The heat index in August is computed to be a hot 89.6°F (32°C). With extended exposure and activity, one might feel exhausted and experience heat cramps.Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
