Weather in August
Temperature
Shifting into August, Branchville records an average high-temperature of a still hot 86.7°F (30.4°C), presenting minor fluctuations compared to the previous month. Throughout August nights, Branchville experiences a consistent temperature average of 68.9°F (20.5°C).Heat index
In August, the heat index is evaluated at a fiery hot 100.4°F (38°C). Undertake additional safety actions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Persistent activity may induce heatstroke.The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
