Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August is marked by an average high-temperature of a still warm 82.9°F (28.3°C), bearing a close resemblance to July. Afton's nights in August are distinguished by a pronounced temperature shift from the day, with an average low of 61.3°F (16.3°C).Heat index
August's heat index is estimated at a hot 89.6°F (32°C). Remaining active during long-lasting exposure could cause fatigue, leading to heat cramps.Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
