Weather in August
Temperature
During August, Jacksonville Beach observes a subtle ascent to a still tropical 89.2°F (31.8°C) from July's 89.4°F (31.9°C) in the average high-temperature. Jacksonville Beach in August anticipates an average nighttime temperature of 77.5°F (25.3°C).Heat index
The average heat index in August is calculated to be a scorching 107.6°F (42°C). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. 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. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for average individuals.Note: In August, an average UV index of 7 transforms into the following instructions:
Shun overexposure. Protection from sun ravages is indispensable. Try to minimize direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Opt for tightly woven and loose clothing to enhance protection from the Sun. Heads up! Sand and water reflection magnifies the UV exposure from the Sun.
