Weather in August
Temperature
August registers an average high-temperature of a still warm 82.8°F (28.2°C), slightly varied from July's 84.4°F (29.1°C). Quantico records an average low-temperature of 68°F (20°C) throughout the month of August.Heat index
August's mean heat index is evaluated at a tropical 91.4°F (33°C). Apply extra caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke might occur with long-duration activity.Heat index details are generally centered around shaded locations and a mild breeze. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
