Weather in August
Temperature
August commences with an average high-temperature of a still tropical 86°F (30°C), showing little deviation from July's 88.3°F (31.3°C). During August, the average low-temperature is an agreeable 68.2°F (20.1°C).Heat index
August's heat index is estimated at a fiery hot 98.6°F (37°C). Undertake additional precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.
Humidity
In August, the average relative humidity is 76%.Rainfall
August is the month with the most rainfall. Rain falls for 15.2 days and accumulates 3.19" (81mm) of precipitation.Snowfall
In Champlain, snow does not fall in May through October.Daylight

Sunshine
In Champlain, the average sunshine in August is 10.2h.UV index
The months with the highest UV index are May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for ordinary individuals.Note: The maximum UV index of 6 during August leads to these instructions:
Refrain from overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals could burn in under 20 minutes. UV radiation from the sun is at its strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure during these hours. In bright sunlight, prioritize sunglasses that grant protection from UVA and UVB radiation.
