Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Lynchburg, is also a hot month, with temperature in the range of an average low of 66.4°F (19.1°C) and an average high of 86.2°F (30.1°C).

Temperature

The advent of August observes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 86.2°F (30.1°C), nearly identical to July's 86.9°F (30.5°C). The average temperature during August nights dips to a refreshing 66.4°F (19.1°C).

Heat index

The heat index in August is calculated to be a torrid 98.6°F (37°C). Exercise heightened safety, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may provoke heatstroke.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. 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 primarily vital for children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.

Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
