Weather in August
Temperature
Chester transitions into August recording an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 85.6°F (29.8°C), closely aligning with the preceding month's temperature. Throughout August, Chester registers a consistent average low-temperature of 64.2°F (17.9°C).Heat index
August's average heat index is computed to be a fiery hot 95°F (35°C). Ensure extra safety steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Long activity might lead to heatstroke.Heat index details are generally centered around shaded locations and a mild breeze. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
When faced with excessive heat, the human body begins to perspire, utilizing the cooling benefits of sweat evaporation. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

Eschew overexposure. Those with light skin may suffer burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Limit your exposure to the sun's UV radiation, which is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and note that parasols or canopies may not provide full sun protection. Consider a wide-brim hat essential for effective sun defense covering your face, neck, and eyes.
