Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Arcade, is another hot month, with an average temperature ranging between max 88.7°F (31.5°C) and min 68.2°F (20.1°C).

Temperature

Stepping into August, Arcade records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 88.7°F (31.5°C), almost consistent with July. August's nights observe an average temperature of 68.2°F (20.1°C).

Heat index

In August, the average heat index is appraised at an extremely hot 104°F (40°C). Undertake special precautions, the probability of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Prolonged activity may provoke heatstroke.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

Note: An average maximum UV index of 6 in August leads to these recommendations:
Take precautions and utilize sun safety practices. Protection against skin and eye damage is required. 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. Fend off the sun's harsh rays with appropriate clothing, a wide-brim hat, and UV-protective sunglasses.
