Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another tropical month in Kilmarnock, Virginia, with an average temperature varying between 68.4°F (20.2°C) and 86.5°F (30.3°C).

Temperature

Kilmarnock experiences a minor change to a still hot 86.5°F (30.3°C) in average high-temperature during August, closely reflecting July. During August in Kilmarnock, the average low-temperature is recorded at an agreeable 68.4°F (20.2°C).

Heat index

During August, the heat index is computed to be a torrid 98.6°F (37°C). Adopt heightened safety measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may occur. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.
Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
