Weather in August

July's transformation into August witnesses an average high-temperature of a still warm 81°F (27.2°C), noting a minor change from the preceding month. In August, York reports a consistent average low-temperature of 62.4°F (16.9°C) during the nights.Heat index
The heat index in August is computed to be a tropical 86°F (30°C). Persisting in activity during long-term exposure might induce weariness, with subsequent heat cramps.Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
