Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another warm month in Moon, Virginia, with an average temperature ranging between max 85.6°F (29.8°C) and min 71.2°F (21.8°C).

Temperature

The arrival of August brings an average high-temperature of a warm 85.6°F (29.8°C), nearly identical to July's 87.8°F (31°C). In Moon, August's nights observe an average temperature dip to a pleasant 71.2°F (21.8°C).

Heat index

In August, the heat index is estimated at a fiery hot 95°F (35°C). Apply extra caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke might occur with long-duration activity.
The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
