Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Old Coloma, is also a hot month, with an average temperature ranging between min 67.6°F (19.8°C) and max 88.7°F (31.5°C).

Temperature

Old Coloma measures an average high-temperature of a still tropical 88.7°F (31.5°C) in August, nearly consistent with the preceding month. An average minimum temperature of 67.6°F (19.8°C) marks the month of August.

Heat index

The heat index in August is evaluated at a blistering 105.8°F (41°C). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. 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 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

Note: The maximum daily UV index of 6 during August translates into the following directions:
Stay clear of intense sun exposure. Solar protection is of utmost significance. 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. Arm yourself against UV rays' harm with protective apparel and UV-filtering shades.
