Weather in August
Temperature
The transition from July to August sees average high-temperatures adjusting to a moderately hot 85.6°F (29.8°C), from a not significantly different 87.3°F (30.7°C). Chesapeake experiences a significant contrast between daily highs and an average nighttime temperature of 62.8°F (17.1°C) during August.Heat index
The average heat index in August is calculated to be a torrid 96.8°F (36°C). Heightened safety actions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may lead to heatstroke.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
When faced with excessive heat, the human body begins to perspire, utilizing the cooling benefits of sweat evaporation. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

Follow precautions and abide by sun safety rules. Deterrence of sunburn is imperative. UV radiation from the sun is at its strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure during these hours. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
