Weather in August
Temperature
Southgate registers the highest average temperatures during the month of August, with peaks of 88.5°F (31.4°C) and lows of 79.7°F (26.5°C).Heat index
In August, the heat index is computed to be a scorching 104°F (40°C). Adopt heightened preventive measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Persistent activity could lead to heatstroke.When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. 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.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.

The months with the highest UV index are May through September, with an average maximum UV index of 7. 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 UV index of 7 during August leads to these instructions:
Skirt overexposure. People with light complexions might get scorched in under 20 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide full protection. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
