Weather in August
Temperature
Dracut's weather in August, with an average high-temperature of a still warm 80.6°F (27°C), subtly shifts from July's 82.2°F (27.9°C). An average nighttime temperature of 62.2°F (16.8°C) is observed during August.Heat index
The heat index value for August is computed to be 84.2°F (29°C). With extended exposure and activity, one might feel exhausted and experience heat cramps.It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
