Weather in August
Temperature
The yearly peak temperatures occur in July and August, averaging a high-temperature of 90.3°F (32.4°C).Heat index
For August, the heat index is estimated at a blazing hot 113°F (45°C). Take note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke can occur with prolonged effort.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Kids frequently fail to realize the necessity for resting and hydrating. Thirst is an advanced indication of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, especially during extended physical activities, becomes essential.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
Humidity
August, September and December, with an average relative humidity of 77%, are the most humid months.Rainfall
The month with the most rainfall is August, when the rain falls for 24.8 days and typically aggregates up to 5.35" (136mm) of precipitation.Daylight

Sunshine
In Secotan, the average sunshine in August is 9.5h.UV index
The months with the highest UV index are May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.Note: In August, the maximum UV index of 7 translates into these guidelines:
Endorse precautions and be consistent with sun safety guidelines. Preventing sunburn is paramount. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun's UV radiation is at its peak. Limit your exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
