Weather in August
Temperature
The transition into August marks the average high-temperature at a still tropical 89.2°F (31.8°C), differing minimally from July's 90.5°F (32.5°C). Throughout the nights in August, Braggsville experiences an average low-temperature of 69.8°F (21°C).Heat index
In August, the heat index is calculated to be a blistering 105.8°F (41°C). Greater safety measures are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Continuous activity might trigger heatstroke.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.

A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the average person.Note: In August, a regular UV index of 6 translates into these guidelines:
Persist in precautions and follow sun safety policies. Keeping sunburn at bay is imperative. The Sun's UV radiation is most intense from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. Sun-related eye harm can be minimized with proper sunglasses offering UVA and UVB coverage.
