Weather in August
Temperature
The commencement of August records an average high-temperature of a still hot 91.9°F (33.3°C), barely varying from July's 92.8°F (33.8°C). In the month of August, Sheridan experiences an average low-temperature of 71.2°F (21.8°C).Heat index
The heat index in August is computed to be a blazing hot 113°F (45°C). Warning: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Heatstroke is a risk with ongoing activity.Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly 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 human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.

Sunshine

In Sheridan, the average daily maximum UV index in August is 6. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for average individuals.Note: In August, the maximum UV index of 6 suggests these recommendations:
Embrace precautions and observe sun safety norms. Evasion of sunburn is a necessity. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., UV radiation is strongest. Make an effort to avoid direct sunlight during this time, remembering that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
