Weather in August
Temperature
Athena witnesses its highest temperatures in July and August, reaching an average of 90.3°F (32.4°C).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is evaluated at a blazing hot 113°F (45°C). Be careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may result from extended activity.Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.

Incorporate safeguards and honour sun safety principles. Protection from skin and eye damage is obligatory. Avoid direct exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, noting that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer complete sun protection. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
