West Orange's average high-temperature marks a still moderately hot 81.9°F (27.7°C) with the advent of August, closely mirroring that of the preceding month. The average temperature during August nights dips to a comfortable 66.7°F (19.3°C).Heat index
August's mean heat index is estimated at a tropical 86°F (30°C). Exhaustion might be the outcome of enduring exposure and continuous activity, with a risk of heat cramps.When referencing the heat index, its values are suitable for shady environments and light breezes. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. 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 of high significance for children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
