Weather in August
Temperature
The onset of August notes an average high-temperature of a still warm 81.3°F (27.4°C), subtly shifted from July's 83.7°F (28.7°C). Chester's August nights cool down to an average low-temperature of 63°F (17.2°C).Heat index
August's heat index is estimated at a tropical 86°F (30°C). Enduring exposure and ongoing activity could cause a sense of fatigue and subsequent heat cramps.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. 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. 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.
