Weather in August
Temperature
Scratch Ankle's shift into August sets the average high-temperature at a still hot 91.9°F (33.3°C), a figure that deviates only slightly from July's 92.3°F (33.5°C). Scratch Ankle records a steady low-temperature average of 72.1°F (22.3°C) during August.Heat index
The heat index for August is calculated to be a burning hot 116.6°F (47°C). Guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are foreseeable. Prolonged effort may bring about heatstroke.Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.

Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Limit your exposure to the sun's UV radiation, which is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and note that parasols or canopies may not provide full sun protection. Equip yourself with UVA and UVB-filtering sunglasses on clear, sunny days.
