Weather in August
Temperature
Emerson Park's entry into August measures an average high-temperature of a still hot 90.5°F (32.5°C), closely parallel to the preceding month. During August, the nighttime temperature averages to a warm 74.1°F (23.4°C).Heat index
The heat index value during August is computed to be a burning hot 113°F (45°C). Precaution: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are possible. Heatstroke is a serious risk with continued exertion.Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to 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. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Youngsters often neglect the necessity for rest and hydration. Thirst is a sign of advancing dehydration - thus the importance of maintaining hydration, specifically during long-lasting physical activities.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
Humidity
With an average relative humidity of 78%, August is the most humid month.Rainfall
The month with the most rainfall is August, when the rain falls for 18.7 days and typically aggregates up to 2.4" (61mm) of precipitation.Daylight

Sunshine
In August, the average sunshine is 9.8h.UV index
May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.Note: The daily maximum UV index of 7 in August interprets into the following advice:
Take precautions against overexposure. Fair-skinned people may get burned in less than 20 minutes. UV radiation from the Sun is most intense between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. To cut down UV radiation exposure by about half, sport a wide-brim hat.
