Weather in August
Temperature
As Grimesland welcomes August, the average high-temperature stabilizes at a still tropical 87.4°F (30.8°C), showing little deviation from July's 88.5°F (31.4°C). In August, Grimesland reports a consistent average low-temperature of 70°F (21.1°C) during the nights.Heat index
The heat index for August is computed to be a blistering 104°F (40°C). Use additional protective measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible outcomes. Continuous activity might lead to heatstroke.Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.

Take precautions against overexposure. Fair-skinned people may get burned in less than 20 minutes. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure to the Sun during this period. In the presence of strong sunlight, it's crucial to wear sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays.
