Weather in August
Temperature
August begins with an average high-temperature of a still tropical 88.7°F (31.5°C), reflecting close similarity to the preceding month. In the month of August, Sanford Springs experiences an average low-temperature of 67.6°F (19.8°C).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 105.8°F (41°C). Take additional safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Prolonged activity may cause heatstroke.Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, 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 particularly important for children. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. 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. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.

Implement preventive steps and embrace sun safety standards. Protection from skin and eye distress is compulsory. Avoid direct exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, noting that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer complete sun protection. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes.
