The last month of the summer, August, is another tropical month in Woodman Terrace, Virginia, with temperature in the range of an average high of 87.8°F (31°C) and an average low of 67.6°F (19.8°C).

Temperature

August experiences an average high-temperature of a still tropical 87.8°F (31°C), barely different from July's 90.1°F (32.3°C). An average low-temperature of 67.6°F (19.8°C) is anticipated throughout the nights during August.

Heat index

The heat index value for August is calculated to be a very hot 100.4°F (38°C). Exercise enhanced safety steps, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke could be a result of sustained activity.
Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

Remember, however, that not all shade structures provide full sun protection. It's wise to wear UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses when the sun shines brightly.
