Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Stems, is another hot month, with an average temperature ranging between min 71.2°F (21.8°C) and max 90.1°F (32.3°C).

Temperature

The shift from July to August is characterized by an average high-temperature of a still hot 90.1°F (32.3°C), not significantly different from the 90.3°F (32.4°C) of July. An average minimum temperature of 71.2°F (21.8°C) marks the month of August.

Heat index

In August, the heat index is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 109.4°F (43°C). Observe: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is on the horizon with prolonged exertion.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are particularly important for children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.

Refrain from overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals could burn in under 20 minutes. Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Outfit yourself in sun-safe attire, like long sleeves, pants, a hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses.
