Weather in August
Temperature
August is Tallahassee's warmest month, registering average high temperatures of 90.9°F (32.7°C) and lows of 74.7°F (23.7°C).Heat index
August's mean heat index is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 114.8°F (46°C). Take heed: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Heatstroke is a potential outcome of continuous activity.Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Children frequently do not comprehend the need for rest and hydration. Thirst is an advanced stage of dehydration - staying hydrated, especially during extended physical exercises, is essential.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

In August, the average relative humidity is 77%.Rainfall
The month with the most rainfall is August, when the rain falls for 26.8 days and typically aggregates up to 5.55" (141mm) of precipitation.Snowfall

Sunshine

May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for average individuals.Note: The daily high UV index of 7 in August translates into this advice:
Fend off overexposure. Sun protection is vital. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. Employ a hat with a wide brim for robust protection, cutting UV exposure by half.
