Weather in August
Temperature
August stands out as Medford's warmest month, with an average high-temperature of 85.1°F (29.5°C) and a low-temperature of 49.5°F (9.7°C).Heat index
The average heat index in August is calculated to be a hot 89.6°F (32°C). Persistent activity under exposure might lead to a feeling of weariness, with subsequent heat cramps.Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
