Weather in August
Temperature
August's presence records an average high-temperature of a still warm 84.2°F (29°C), closely mirroring July's climate. Throughout the month of August, Poquoson witnesses an average temperature of 73.2°F (22.9°C).Heat index
August's mean heat index is evaluated at a hot 91.4°F (33°C). Heightened precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.

Employ safeguards and advocate sun safety protocols. Shielding against skin and eye damage is crucial. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Sun-protective clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses are particularly helpful in blocking UV radiation's harmful effects.
