Weather in August
Temperature
Cape Charles's shift into August sets the average high-temperature at a still moderately hot 81.7°F (27.6°C), a figure that deviates only slightly from July's 82.6°F (28.1°C). A modest nighttime temperature average of 75.7°F (24.3°C) characterizes August.Heat index
August's average heat index is estimated at a tropical 86°F (30°C). Prolonged exposure and physical activity might induce exhaustion, potentially causing heat cramps.It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
