Weather in August
Temperature
Towson marks the onset of August with an average high-temperature of a still warm 82.8°F (28.2°C), subtly divergent from July's 84.9°F (29.4°C). In Towson, August nights witness a steady temperature drop to a refreshing 66.7°F (19.3°C).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is appraised at a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). If activity and exposure persist, they could induce fatigue, leading to possible heat cramps.Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
