Weather in August
Temperature
August denotes a minimal variation in the average high-temperature to a still warm 81.7°F (27.6°C) from July's 82.9°F (28.3°C). Shinnston reports a sharp reduction in temperature during August, averaging at a mild 58.8°F (14.9°C) at night.Heat index
The heat index value during August is computed to be a hot 87.8°F (31°C). If one continues to be active during enduring exposure, it could result in fatigue and heat cramps.Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
