Weather in August
Temperature
August is the month when Palm Harbor's temperatures reach their peak, with averages of 88°F (31.1°C) and lows of 80.4°F (26.9°C).Heat index
The heat index value during August is computed to be a very hot 102.2°F (39°C). Greater safety measures are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Continuous activity might trigger heatstroke.Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.

A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the ordinary person.Note: The maximum daily UV index of 7 in August interprets into the following recommendations:
Avert overexposure. Light-skinned people might experience burning in less than 20 minutes. To the best of your ability, limit your exposure to the sun between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Stay sun-safe with clothing that is both closely woven and worn loosely. Take caution! The UV rays from the Sun gain strength from sand and water reflections.
