Weather in August
Temperature
The transition into August marks the average high-temperature at a still tropical 87.3°F (30.7°C), differing minimally from July's 89.4°F (31.9°C). Bumpass experiences an average low-temperature reading of 65.8°F (18.8°C) throughout August.Heat index
In August, the heat index is calculated to be a fiery hot 100.4°F (38°C). Ensure extra safety steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Long activity might lead to heatstroke.In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. 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 highly critical to babies and toddlers. 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.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
