Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August is marked by an average high-temperature of a still warm 82.2°F (27.9°C), bearing a close resemblance to July. In Whiteford, the average nighttime temperature during August is a comfortable 65.7°F (18.7°C).Heat index
August's average heat index is computed to be a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). Persisting in activity during long-term exposure might induce weariness, with subsequent heat cramps.Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
