Weather in August
Temperature
With the advent of August, White Plains's high-temperatures adjust to a still moderately hot 81.1°F (27.3°C), closely aligning with the preceding month. White Plains's average low-temperature for the month of August records at a comfortable 67.3°F (19.6°C).Heat index
The heat index value for August is computed to be 84.2°F (29°C). If one endures exposure and continues to be active, it might result in tiredness and heat cramps.Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
