Weather in August
Temperature
Stepping into August, Whitman records an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 81°F (27.2°C), almost consistent with July. Whitman records an average nighttime low-temperature of 63.1°F (17.3°C) throughout August.Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is calculated to be a tropical 86°F (30°C). Prolonged exposure and physical activity might induce exhaustion, potentially causing heat cramps.Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
