Weather in August
Temperature
As Anderson welcomes August, the average high-temperature is noted at a still hot 87.6°F (30.9°C), closely aligning with the preceding month. An average nighttime temperature of 68.5°F (20.3°C) is noted during the month of August.Heat index
For August, the heat index is appraised at a very hot 102.2°F (39°C). Greater safety measures are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Continuous activity might trigger heatstroke.Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.

Persist with precautions and heed sun safety advice. Prevention of sunburn is compulsory. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation. Limit direct exposure to the Sun during these hours. Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays.
