Weather in August
Temperature
As Whitney transitions into August, the average high-temperature stands at a still hot 88.7°F (31.5°C), offering little variation from the preceding month. Throughout the August nights, Whitney encounters a low-temperature of 69.1°F (20.6°C).Heat index
During August, the heat index is appraised at an extremely hot 105.8°F (41°C). Adopt additional preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential outcomes. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.Heat index specifics point out values are for conditions of shade and a slight breeze. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for 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.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

Sunshine

May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for ordinary individuals.Note: A daily high UV index of 6 in August leads to these guidelines:
Act on precautions and pay attention to sun safety recommendations. Avoidance of sunburn is obligatory. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure to the Sun during this period. Tightly woven clothing, when worn loosely, shields effectively against the Sun.
