Weather in August
Temperature
August denotes a minimal variation in the average high-temperature to a still moderately hot 82.9°F (28.3°C) from July's 83.7°F (28.7°C). Despite the stark contrast with daytime temperatures, Appalachia's August nights average at a refreshing 59.5°F (15.3°C).Heat index
In August, the average heat index is appraised at a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). Remaining active during long-lasting exposure could cause fatigue, leading to heat cramps.Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
