Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Clarkdale, is also a hot month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 88.7°F (31.5°C) and 69.8°F (21°C).

Temperature

August welcomes an average high-temperature of a still hot 88.7°F (31.5°C), not much different from the preceding month. An average minimum temperature of 69.8°F (21°C) marks the month of August.

Heat index

In August, the heat index is calculated to be a torrid 102.2°F (39°C). Implement heightened safety measures - risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is increased. Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.

Note: The maximum UV index of 6 during August translates into these guidelines:
Employ safeguards and advocate sun safety protocols. Shielding against skin and eye damage is crucial. Stay out of direct sunlight and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest, but remember that shade devices may not offer full sun protection. Sun protection is enhanced with clothing that boasts a tight weave yet offers a loose fit.
