Weather in August

July's transformation into August witnesses an average high-temperature of a still warm 81.9°F (27.7°C), noting a minor change from the preceding month. In August, Maplewood encounters an average low-temperature of 66.7°F (19.3°C) during the night.Heat index
The heat index for August is computed to be a hot 86°F (30°C). Ongoing activity coupled with exposure often results in weariness and could induce heat cramps.Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
