Weather in August
Temperature
The shift into August reveals an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 81.3°F (27.4°C), closely mirroring July's climate. In Pelham, the expected average low-temperature for August is a pleasant 68.9°F (20.5°C).Heat index
In August, the average heat index is calculated to be a hot 86°F (30°C). Unrelenting activity during exposure could cause fatigue and potentially lead to heat cramps.Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
