Weather in August
Temperature
Upon the onset of August, Paxton witnesses an average high-temperature of a still hot 90.7°F (32.6°C), showing a close resemblance to the prior month. Paxton's temperature in August lowers to a consistent average of 73.6°F (23.1°C) during the nights.Heat index
During August, the heat index is estimated at a life-threatening hot 113°F (45°C). Note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke can follow with prolonged activity.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

The month with the most rainfall is August, when the rain falls for 21.3 days and typically aggregates up to 4.61" (117mm) of precipitation.Snowfall

May through August, 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 risk from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the average person.Note: The maximum UV index of 7 during August translates into these guidelines:
Take precautions and adopt sun safety practices. Protection against sunburn is obliged. Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. Your best bet for sun defense on the face, eyes, and neck is a hat with a wide brim.
