Temperature

Williamsburg's warmest weather arrives in August, when temperatures average a high of 91.4°F (33°C) and a low of 72°F (22.2°C).

Heat index

The average heat index in August is appraised at a burning hot 114.8°F (46°C). Watchful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are predicted. Continued exertion could lead to heatstroke.
Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
