Weather in August
Temperature
The onset of August notes an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 80.6°F (27°C), subtly shifted from July's 82.2°F (27.9°C). In the month of August, Stow records a consistent average low-temperature of 61.5°F (16.4°C).Heat index
In August, the heat index is evaluated at 84.2°F (29°C). Exhaustion is likely with prolonged exposure and activity. Sustaining activity may result in heat cramps.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
