Weather in August
Temperature
Oark signifies an average high-temperature of a still tropical 90.7°F (32.6°C) in August, closely mirroring the 91.4°F (33°C) of July. In August, Oark experiences a significant drop from daily zeniths to an average nighttime temperature of 68.4°F (20.2°C).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 109.4°F (43°C). Be wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are highly anticipated. With continued activity, heatstroke is very likely.Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
Humidity
July and August, with an average relative humidity of 72%, are the least humid months.Rainfall
In Oark, during August, the rain falls for 14 days and regularly aggregates up to 2.95" (75mm) of precipitation. Throughout the year, there are 146.9 rainfall days, and 36.42" (925mm) of precipitation is accumulated.Snowfall

Sunshine
In August, the average sunshine is 10.4h.UV index
In August, the average daily maximum UV index is 6. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.Note: A daily high UV index of 6 in August leads to these guidelines:
Guard oneself from overexposure. Defence against sun injury is vital. Limit your direct sun exposure, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest. Shade structures might not provide complete sun protection. Sun-related eye harm can be minimized with proper sunglasses offering UVA and UVB coverage.
