Weather in August
Temperature
The start of August marks an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 81.1°F (27.3°C), hardly distinguishable from the conditions in July. Despite the intense daytime heat, Radford sustains a steady low-temperature average of 58.6°F (14.8°C) during August.Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is computed to be a hot 86°F (30°C). Exposure and extended activity could potentially cause a state of fatigue and lead to heat cramps.Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular 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.
