Weather in August
Temperature
The warmest period is August, when temperatures fluctuate between an average high of 90.3°F (32.4°C) and a low of 77.4°F (25.2°C).Heat index
The heat index for August is evaluated at an extremely hot 109.4°F (43°C). Notice: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued strenuous activity might lead to heatstroke.It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.

A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.Note: The daily high UV index of 7 in August translates into this advice:
Follow precautions and abide by sun safety rules. Deterrence of sunburn is imperative. Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. Safeguard your eyes, ears, and face from sun rays with the aid of a wide-brim hat.
