Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 88.3°F (31.3°C), nearly identical to July's 89.6°F (32°C). The mean low-temperature during August nights is a refreshing 67.6°F (19.8°C).Heat index
In August, the average heat index is calculated to be a torrid 102.2°F (39°C). Use additional protective measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible outcomes. Continuous activity might lead to heatstroke.Heat index details are generally centered around shaded locations and a mild breeze. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.

Persist with precautions and heed sun safety advice. Prevention of sunburn is compulsory. Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. Protect your eyes, ears, face, and neck from the Sun by wearing a wide-brimmed hat.
