Weather in August
Temperature
The commencement of August brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 91.6°F (33.1°C), marking an inconsequential divergence from July. During the nights in August, the temperature averages to a moderately hot 75°F (23.9°C).Heat index
The average heat index in August is evaluated at a blazing hot 114.8°F (46°C). Be wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are highly anticipated. With continued activity, heatstroke is very likely.Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild winds. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. 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 extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.

Sunshine

May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.Note: An average UV index of 7 in August transforms into this advice:
Continue precautions and advocate sun safety advice. Deterrence of sunburn is indispensable. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. To cut down UV radiation exposure by about half, sport a wide-brim hat.
