Weather in August
Temperature
August's average high-temperature stands at a still hot 90.1°F (32.3°C), showing little deviation from July's 90.3°F (32.4°C). The nights of August anticipate an average low-temperature of 73.2°F (22.9°C).Heat index
The heat index value during August is estimated at a scorching 111.2°F (44°C). Beware: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are very likely. Heatstroke is imminent with prolonged activity.It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

The month with the most rainfall is August, when the rain falls for 21 days and typically aggregates up to 4.06" (103mm) of precipitation.Snowfall

Sunshine
In August, the average sunshine is 9h.UV index
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 threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for average individuals.Note: A typical high UV index of 7 in August suggests the following recommendations:
Enforce precautions and stick to sun safety measures. Preservation from skin and eye damage is essential. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure to the Sun during this period. Prioritize a wide-brim hat for comprehensive sun defense for your face, neck, eyes, and ears.
