Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 90.3°F (32.4°C), nearly identical to July's 91°F (32.8°C). In Dolomite, August nights witness a steady temperature drop to a pleasant 71.6°F (22°C).Heat index
In August, the heat index is estimated at an extremely hot 107.6°F (42°C). Greater safety measures are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Continuous activity might trigger heatstroke.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.

Sunshine

The months with the highest UV index are April through September, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for ordinary individuals.Note: During August, 6 as the daily maximum UV index converts into the following advice:
Evade overexposure. Individuals with fair skin risk burning in under 20 minutes. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., UV radiation is strongest. Make an effort to avoid direct sunlight during this time, remembering that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
