Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August brings an average high-temperature of a warm 85.3°F (29.6°C), subtly diverging from July's 86.2°F (30.1°C). During August, Monticello sees a mean low-temperature of 64°F (17.8°C).Heat index
The average heat index in August is computed to be a very hot 95°F (35°C). Apply extra caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke might occur with long-duration activity.Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.
