Weather in August
Temperature
The start of August sees the average high-temperature at a still tropical 88.2°F (31.2°C), showing little difference from July's 88.3°F (31.3°C). Madison, during the month of August, experiences an average low-temperature of 68.5°F (20.3°C).Heat index
The heat index value during August is computed to be a blisteringly hot 104°F (40°C). Undertake special precautions, the probability of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Prolonged activity may provoke heatstroke.One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

Ward off overexposure. Defence against solar harm is crucial. Remember that UV radiation from the Sun is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to limit direct sun exposure during this time. Sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays play a pivotal role in reducing solar eye damage.
