Weather in August
Temperature
August's onset brings an average high-temperature of a warm 83.3°F (28.5°C), showing a minute difference from July's 86.2°F (30.1°C). Fort Washington's August nights cool down to an average low-temperature of 66.7°F (19.3°C).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is computed to be a hot 89.6°F (32°C). Exhaustion might be the outcome of enduring exposure and continuous activity, with a risk of heat cramps.Heat index specifics point out values are for conditions of shade and a slight breeze. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
