Weather in August
Temperature
Ethel, West Virginia, starts August with an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 84.7°F (29.3°C), hinting at a minimal fluctuation from July. Significant variation from daytime temperatures marks August, with the month recording a nightly average of 60.6°F (15.9°C).Heat index
The average heat index in August is calculated to be a fiery hot 95°F (35°C). Adopt additional preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential outcomes. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
