Weather in August
Temperature
Swink experiences a transition to a still tropical 92.7°F (33.7°C) in average high-temperatures with the arrival of August, not greatly differing from July's 93.2°F (34°C). Swink, during the month of August, experiences an average low-temperature of 72.1°F (22.3°C).Heat index
August's average heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 118.4°F (48°C). On guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a potential hazard with continuous physical effort.It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.

In August, the rain falls for 21.3 days. Throughout August, 3.66" (93mm) of precipitation is accumulated. Throughout the year, there are 171.5 rainfall days, and 35.47" (901mm) of precipitation is accumulated.Snowfall

Sunshine
The average sunshine in August is 10.2h.UV index
The months with the highest UV index are June through August, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.Note: In August, a daily maximum UV index of 7 leads to the following instructions:
Deflect overexposure. Sun protection is a necessity. Limit your direct sun exposure, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest. Shade structures might not provide complete sun protection. In the presence of strong sunlight, it's crucial to wear sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays.
