Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Chidester, is another tropical month, with temperature in the range of an average high of 93°F (33.9°C) and an average low of 71.8°F (22.1°C).

Temperature

As July turns into August, the average high-temperatures rest at a still tropical 93°F (33.9°C), showing a minor variation from the prior month. In the month of August, Chidester experiences an average low-temperature of 71.8°F (22.1°C).

Heat index

August's heat index is estimated at a life-threatening hot 116.6°F (47°C). Take heed: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Heatstroke is a potential outcome of continuous activity.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', 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. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.

Uphold preventive measures and conform to sun safety guidelines. Defending against skin and eye harm is crucial. Stay in the shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest. Remember, however, that not all shade structures provide full sun protection. Sunglasses that guard against UVA and UVB rays are pivotal in minimizing sun-induced ocular damage.
