Weather in August
Temperature
The start of August sees the average high-temperature at a still hot 91°F (32.8°C), showing little difference from July's 91.8°F (33.2°C). In Active, August's nights observe an average temperature dip to an agreeable 71.2°F (21.8°C).Heat index
The heat index value during August is estimated at a burning hot 113°F (45°C). Be prepared: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Continued activity may lead to heatstroke.It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
Humidity
The average relative humidity in August is 74%.Rainfall
In August, the rain falls for 15.4 days. Throughout August, 1.42" (36mm) of precipitation is accumulated. In Active, during the entire year, the rain falls for 125.6 days and collects up to 12.99" (330mm) of precipitation.Snowfall

Sunshine
In August, the average sunshine is 10.3h.UV index
The average daily maximum UV index in August is 6. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.Note: The maximum daily UV index, 6 in August, converts into the following recommendations:
Adopt measures and apply sun safety strategies. Shielding from skin and eye damage is necessary. Stay in the shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest. Remember, however, that not all shade structures provide full sun protection. Fend off the sun's harsh rays with appropriate clothing, a wide-brim hat, and UV-protective sunglasses.
