Weather in August
Temperature
The advent of August observes an average high-temperature of a still hot 92.1°F (33.4°C), nearly identical to July's 92.8°F (33.8°C). The temperature lowers to an average of 72.3°F (22.4°C) during August nights.Heat index
For August, the heat index is estimated at a blazing hot 114.8°F (46°C). Remain cautious: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are foreseeable. Ongoing activity may precipitate heatstroke.It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. 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 quite important for babies and toddlers. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. 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.

Prevent overexposure. Protection from the sun's harmful effects is needed. Avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide full protection. On days when the sun blazes, arm yourself with sunglasses that block UVA and UVB radiation.
