Weather in August
Temperature
August's weather records an average high-temperature of a still hot 87.4°F (30.8°C), showing little deviation from July. Whiton reports an average nighttime low-temperature of 67.8°F (19.9°C) in August.Heat index
In August, the average heat index is estimated at a torrid 102.2°F (39°C). Implement more safety precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may happen. Persistent activity could induce heatstroke.In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.

Refrain from overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals could burn in under 20 minutes. Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Always opt for UVA and UVB-resistant sunglasses on radiant days.
