Weather in August
Temperature
August welcomes an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 80.8°F (27.1°C), not much different from the preceding month. Throughout August, Elizabethtown anticipates an average low-temperature of 62.1°F (16.7°C).Heat index
In August, the heat index is computed to be a tropical 86°F (30°C). Continuous exposure and activity could induce a sense of tiredness and subsequently, heat cramps.It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
