Weather in August
Temperature
The shift from July to August is characterized by an average high-temperature of a still hot 87.3°F (30.7°C), not significantly different from the 89.1°F (31.7°C) of July. An average minimum temperature of 70.2°F (21.2°C) marks the month of August.Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is computed to be a sweltering 102.2°F (39°C). Greater safety measures are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Continuous activity might trigger heatstroke.Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

Sunshine
The average sunshine in August is 10.6h.UV index
The average daily maximum UV index in August is 6. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for average individuals.Note: The maximum UV index of 6 during August translates into these guidelines:
Endorse precautions and be consistent with sun safety guidelines. Preventing sunburn is paramount. UV radiation from the sun is at its strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure during these hours. In the presence of strong sunlight, it's crucial to wear sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays.
