Weather in August
Temperature
The transition from July to August brings an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 82°F (27.8°C), barely different from July's 82.8°F (28.2°C). Herndon sees a consistent average low-temperature of 58.5°F (14.7°C) in August, indicating a substantial decrease from the day's temperature.Heat index
August's average heat index is calculated to be a hot 87.8°F (31°C). Continuous exposure and activity could induce a sense of tiredness and subsequently, heat cramps.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
