Weather in August
Temperature
Santa Clara's average high-temperature in August is a still moderately hot 81.3°F (27.4°C), marking an insignificant difference from the 81.9°F (27.7°C) of July. In the month of August, Santa Clara witnesses a marked temperature drop at night, averaging a low of 56.3°F (13.5°C).Heat index
During August, the heat index is appraised at 84.2°F (29°C). One might feel worn out with persistent exposure and activity, resulting in heat cramps.Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.

A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.Note: In August, a daily maximum UV index of 6 leads to the following instructions:
Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Seek shade and limit direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but be aware that not all shade structures provide complete sun protection. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes.
