August experiences similar weather patterns to July, with high temperatures and heavy rainfall. The heat prevails, but it's augmented with seasonal thunderstorms which contribute to the city's rainfall amounting to 1.3" (33mm). Wind speeds are relatively mild, averaging at 5.6mph (9km/h) and gusts reaching 8.3mph (13.4km/h). The month is also characterized by higher humidity levels compared to the drier months, potentially leading to heavier air and sultrier climates.

Temperature

Transitioning from July to August, Sahuarita observes an average high-temperature of a still hot 92.7°F (33.7°C), differing subtly from the previous month. In Sahuarita, August's nights observe an average temperature dip to a moderately hot 74.3°F (23.5°C).

Heat index

The heat index value during August is computed to be a very hot 95°F (35°C). Undertake special precautions, the probability of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Prolonged activity may provoke heatstroke.
Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. 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 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant 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.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
