Weather in August

Oilville, Virginia, observes an average high-temperature of a still hot 88.3°F (31.3°C) in August, barely different from 90.7°F (32.6°C) in July. Oilville's temperature drops to an average low of 68.2°F (20.1°C) during the nights of August.Heat index
For August, the heat index is estimated at a torrid 102.2°F (39°C). Heightened safety actions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may lead to heatstroke.Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. When the body's heat gain surpasses its removal capacity, body temperature starts to climb, leading to potential heat-related ailments.
