Weather in August
Temperature
Fairview's average high-temperature in August is a still hot 87.6°F (30.9°C), marking an insignificant difference from the 88.5°F (31.4°C) of July. Nighttime temperatures consistently average an agreeable 68.7°F (20.4°C) during August.Heat index
In August, the average heat index is appraised at a torrid 102.2°F (39°C). Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. When relative humidity is heightened, it slows the rate of evaporation, thereby decreasing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a sensation of overheating. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.

A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.Note: In August, the maximum UV index of 6 suggests this advice:
Prevent overexposure. Protection from the sun's harmful effects is needed. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. It's wise to wear UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses when the sun shines brightly.
