Weather in August

The shift into August uncovers an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 84.7°F (29.3°C), subtly different from the previous month. During August, White Oak records an average temperature of 67.6°F (19.8°C) at night.Heat index
The average heat index in August is computed to be a hot 93.2°F (34°C). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.When referencing the heat index, its values are suitable for shady environments and light breezes. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
