Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another hot month in Lanexa, Virginia, with an average temperature fluctuating between 86.9°F (30.5°C) and 68.2°F (20.1°C).

Temperature

Lanexa experiences a subtle adjustment in high-temperatures to a still hot 86.9°F (30.5°C) with the onset of August, maintaining near parity with July's 89.2°F (31.8°C). August brings with it a nighttime average temperature of 68.2°F (20.1°C).

Heat index

The heat index value for August is evaluated at a sweltering 100.4°F (38°C). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.
When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. 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 of high significance for children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.

Note: A daily high UV index of 6 in August leads to these guidelines:
Undertake protective measures and comply with sun safety rules. Shielding against skin and eye damage is essential. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. For a sun-safe wardrobe, go for clothes that are tightly woven and generously sized.
