Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Greensway, is another tropical month, with an average temperature ranging between max 88.5°F (31.4°C) and min 69.8°F (21°C).

Temperature

The arrival of August marks a slight shift to an average high-temperature of a still hot 88.5°F (31.4°C) from July's 89.8°F (32.1°C). Greensway reports an average low-temperature of 69.8°F (21°C) during the nights of August.

Heat index

In August, the average heat index is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 104°F (40°C). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.
It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels 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 remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.

Note: An average maximum UV index of 6 in August leads to these recommendations:
Use measures and accept sun safety conventions. Guarding against skin and eye trauma is of high priority. Try to minimize direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. A hat with a generous brim can prevent nearly 50% of UV rays from reaching your eyes.
