Weather in August
Temperature
August records an average high-temperature of a still hot 90.7°F (32.6°C), indicating a minor variation from the preceding month. Throughout August, the temperature tends to fall to a consistent average low of 73°F (22.8°C).Heat index
August's mean heat index is calculated to be a burning hot 113°F (45°C). Mindful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are to be expected. Extended physical effort might result in heatstroke.Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

On days when the sun blazes, arm yourself with sunglasses that block UVA and UVB radiation.
