Weather in August
Temperature
The average temperatures reach their apex in August, averaging 90.1°F (32.3°C) at the high end and 78.1°F (25.6°C) at the low end.Heat index
In August, the heat index is computed to be a scorching 109.4°F (43°C). Prudent: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Heatstroke becomes imminent with sustained exertion.Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.

Sustain precautions and conform to sun safety norms. Preventing sunburn is necessary. Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes.
