Weather in August
Temperature
August brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 90.1°F (32.3°C), nearly identical to the preceding month. Harvard observes an average low-temperature of 75°F (23.9°C) during August nights.Heat index
In August, the heat index is evaluated at a burning hot 113°F (45°C). Caution: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Sustained activity could lead to heatstroke.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. 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 are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Kids frequently ignore the importance of taking a break and rehydrating. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during long-lasting physical activities.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.

Sunshine

May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index in Harvard. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.Note: In August, the maximum UV index of 7 transforms into these recommendations:
Persist with precautions and heed sun safety advice. Prevention of sunburn is compulsory. UV radiation from the Sun is most intense between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
