Weather in August
Temperature
August's average high-temperature is a still warm 82.9°F (28.3°C), maintaining a close comparison with July's 84.7°F (29.3°C). The low-temperature average for Overlea during August stands at a comfortable 67.6°F (19.8°C).Heat index
The heat index value for August is evaluated at a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). Constant activity during exposure could result in a state of weariness and possibly heat cramps.Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are quite important 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.
