Weather in August
Temperature
August's arrival brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 88.3°F (31.3°C), slightly deviating from July's 89.2°F (31.8°C). The average low-temperature of 69.4°F (20.8°C) is witnessed during August.Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is estimated at a scorching 104°F (40°C). Ensure extra safety steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Long activity might lead to heatstroke.From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. 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. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.

Eschew overexposure. Those with light skin may suffer burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Remember that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. To cut down UV radiation exposure by about half, sport a wide-brim hat.
