Weather in August
Temperature
The weather during August records an average high-temperature of a still hot 87.6°F (30.9°C), closely mirroring the preceding month. August sees the temperature falling to a mean low of 68°F (20°C).Heat index
The average heat index in August is calculated to be a sweltering 102.2°F (39°C). Incorporate extra safety measures to avoid heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Continuous activity could provoke heatstroke.Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. The Sun's UV radiation is most powerful between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. To the extent possible, limit exposure to the direct sun during these hours. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
