Weather in August
Temperature
In August, Birch River notes an average high-temperature of a still warm 81.5°F (27.5°C), hardly different from the preceding month. Despite a noticeable differential from daytime highs, Birch River notes an average nighttime low-temperature of 59.4°F (15.2°C) in August.Heat index
The heat index in August is estimated at a hot 87.8°F (31°C). If one endures exposure and continues to be active, it might result in tiredness and heat cramps.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
