Weather in August
Temperature
Thames experiences peak temperatures, averaging a high-temperature of 90.1°F (32.3°C) during July and August.Heat index
In August, the heat index is appraised at a life-threatening hot 113°F (45°C). Alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely to occur. Prolonged exertion can lead to heatstroke.It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.
Humidity
The months with the highest humidity are August and September, with an average relative humidity of 78%.Rainfall
The month with the most rainfall is August, when the rain falls for 24.3 days and typically aggregates up to 4.06" (103mm) of precipitation.Daylight

Sunshine
In August, the average sunshine is 9.7h.UV index
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 threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the average person.Note: The maximum UV index, 7 during August, leads to the following recommendations:
Resist extreme sun exposure. Guarding against solar damage is essential. Limit your exposure to the sun's UV radiation, which is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and note that parasols or canopies may not provide full sun protection. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
