Weather in August
Temperature
The introduction of August sees an average high-temperature of a still tropical 87.1°F (30.6°C), hardly deviating from July. In Rockbridge, an average low-temperature of 66°F (18.9°C) is recorded during August nights.Heat index
August's mean heat index is calculated to be a torrid 100.4°F (38°C). Incorporate additional preventive steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. 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 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
