Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August sees a recorded average high-temperature of a still hot 87.3°F (30.7°C), showing little divergence from the previous month's conditions. During August, Beaverdam experiences a consistent low-temperature average of 65.8°F (18.8°C).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is computed to be a torrid 100.4°F (38°C). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.Heat index specifics point out values are for conditions of shade and a slight breeze. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
