The last month of the summer, August, is another warm month in Henry, Virginia, with temperature in the range of an average high of 85.6°F (29.8°C) and an average low of 63.9°F (17.7°C).

The start of August sees the average high-temperature at a warm 85.6°F (29.8°C), showing little difference from July's 87.4°F (30.8°C). During August, Henry reports a marked contrast from daily peak temperatures, with an average nighttime reading of 63.9°F (17.7°C).

Heat index

For August, the heat index is computed to be a torrid 95°F (35°C). Exercise special caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Prolonged activity may induce heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

Remember, however, that not all shade structures offer full protection. Clothes that are both tight-knit and comfortably loose are prime choices for sun protection.
