Weather in August
Temperature
Rural, Virginia, marks the onset of August with an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 82.8°F (28.2°C), a subtle shift from July's 83.5°F (28.6°C). Rural's August nights cool down significantly from the day's heat, to an average low-temperature of 58.8°F (14.9°C).Heat index
August's mean heat index is calculated to be a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). Enduring exposure and continuous activity might cause a feeling of tiredness and induce heat cramps.Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
