Weather in August
Temperature
August commences with an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 80.8°F (27.1°C), showing little deviation from July's 82°F (27.8°C). Throughout August, the temperature in North Smithfield tends to fall to a consistent average low of 61.5°F (16.4°C).Heat index
For August, the heat index is estimated at a tropical 86°F (30°C). With sustained exposure and activity, exhaustion becomes probable, resulting in heat cramps.It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
