August weather forecast
Ceres, CA

August, the last month of the summer in Ceres, is also a fiery hot month, with an average temperature varying between 96.4°F (35.8°C) and 61.7°F (16.5°C).

Temperature

The beginning of August records an average high-temperature of a still torrid 96.4°F (35.8°C), marking a negligible difference from July's 97.7°F (36.5°C). Ceres's temperature in August declines substantially from daytime highs, settling at a consistent average of 61.7°F (16.5°C) during the nights.

Heat index

During August, the heat index is evaluated at a fiery hot 102.2°F (39°C). Heightened safety actions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may lead to heatstroke.
The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.

Humidity

In August, the average relative humidity is 40%.

Rainfall

July and August are months with the least rain when the rain falls for 0.9 days and typically aggregates up to 0.04" (1mm) of rain.

UV index

June through August, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: The maximum UV index of 7 during August translates into these guidelines:
Exercise precautions and adapt sun safety practices. Defence against skin and eye affliction is paramount. Stay out of direct sunlight and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest, but remember that shade devices may not offer full sun protection. Stay sun-safe with clothing that is both closely woven and worn loosely.
