Weather in August
Temperature
Temperature records mark August as the warmest month, with highs averaging 87.3°F (30.7°C) and lows at 81.3°F (27.4°C).Heat index
In August, the average heat index is calculated to be a torrid 100.4°F (38°C). Heightened safety actions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may lead to heatstroke.When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
Humidity
In August, the average relative humidity is 75%.Rainfall
The month with the most rainfall is August, when the rain falls for 27.5 days and typically aggregates up to 10.04" (255mm) of precipitation.Daylight

Sunshine
In August, the average sunshine is 10.7h.UV index
May through September, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. 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: The daily maximum UV index of 7 in August interprets into the following advice:
Skirt overexposure. People with light complexions might get scorched in under 20 minutes. Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. Employ a hat with a wide brim for robust protection, cutting UV exposure by half.
