Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Newton, is another tropical month, with an average temperature ranging between max 90.1°F (32.3°C) and min 73.4°F (23°C).

Temperature

Newton signifies an average high-temperature of a still hot 90.1°F (32.3°C) in August, closely mirroring the 91.2°F (32.9°C) of July. Throughout the month of August, Newton witnesses an average low-temperature of 73.4°F (23°C).

Heat index

For most parts of August, the heat index is evaluated at a blistering 109.4°F (43°C). Forewarned: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Ongoing physical activity increases the likelihood of heatstroke.
Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Kids often lack the knowledge about the necessity to take breaks and consume liquids. Thirst, as a late symptom of dehydration, necessitates the maintenance of hydration, particularly during enduring physical activities.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.

In August, the average relative humidity is 75%.

UV index

May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the average person.
Note: A daily maximum UV index of 7 in August translates into the following instructions:
Evade overexposure. Individuals with fair skin risk burning in under 20 minutes. Be aware that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and try to reduce direct sun exposure during this period as much as possible. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
