Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Powellton, is another warm month, with an average temperature ranging between max 82.8°F (28.2°C) and min 59.4°F (15.2°C).

Temperature

In August, the average high-temperature registers at a still moderately hot 82.8°F (28.2°C), nearly identical to July's 83.8°F (28.8°C). During August, Powellton detects a significant contrast from its daytime temperatures, with nights averaging at a mild 59.4°F (15.2°C).

Heat index

In August, the heat index is computed to be a hot 89.6°F (32°C). With constant exposure and activity, a state of weariness might ensue, leading to potential heat cramps.
Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
