Weather in August
Temperature
Medfield, Massachusetts, records an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 81°F (27.2°C) as August arrives, nearly mirroring the previous month's climate. The nighttime temperature dips to an enjoyable 62.6°F (17°C) on average during August.Heat index
The heat index value during August is computed to be a tropical 86°F (30°C). Exhaustion becomes probable with enduring exposure and activity, potentially causing heat cramps.Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
