Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another warm month in Stiltner, West Virginia, with an average temperature varying between 62.8°F (17.1°C) and 85.6°F (29.8°C).

Temperature

Stiltner observes a minor difference in average high-temperatures between July's 87.1°F (30.6°C) and August's 85.6°F (29.8°C). During the nights in August, Stiltner records a pronounced shift from the daytime warmth, with a consistent average temperature of 62.8°F (17.1°C).

Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is estimated at a torrid 96.8°F (36°C). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
