Weather in August
Temperature
August, noted for its average high-temperature of 90°F (32.2°C) and an average low-temperature of 75.7°F (24.3°C), is considered the warmest month.Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is estimated at a burning hot 113°F (45°C). Alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely to occur. Prolonged exertion can lead to heatstroke.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. 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. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
Humidity
The months with the highest humidity are August and September, with an average relative humidity of 79%.Rainfall
The month with the most rainfall is August, when the rain falls for 26.1 days and typically aggregates up to 6.89" (175mm) of precipitation.Daylight
In August, the average length of the day is 13h and 7min.On the first day of August, sunrise is at 6:50 am and sunset at 8:17 pm. On the last day of the month, sunrise is at 7:06 am and sunset at 7:49 pm EDT.
Sunshine
The average sunshine in August is 9.5h.UV index
May through September, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index 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 suggests this advice:
Avert overexposure. Light-skinned people might experience burning in less than 20 minutes. The hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. have the most intense UV radiation. As much as possible, limit direct sun exposure during this period. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly.
