Weather in August
Temperature
Rising Sun indicates an average high-temperature of a still warm 81.3°F (27.4°C) in August, showing minor variation from July's 83.8°F (28.8°C). During August, Rising Sun sees a mean low-temperature of 64°F (17.8°C).Heat index
The heat index value during August is estimated at a hot 87.8°F (31°C). Continuous activity in exposure could lead to a feeling of fatigue and heat cramps.Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
