Weather in August
Temperature
The average high-temperature during August registers at a still hot 90.7°F (32.6°C), maintaining a close resemblance to the previous month. Bellefontaine witnesses an average low-temperature of 70.9°F (21.6°C) throughout the month of August.Heat index
The heat index value for August is estimated at a blisteringly hot 111.2°F (44°C). Be careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may result from extended activity.Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
