Weather in August
Temperature
As Homer transitions into August, the average high-temperature stands at a still hot 88.9°F (31.6°C), offering little variation from the preceding month. During August nights, Homer witnesses a consistent average temperature of 68.2°F (20.1°C).Heat index
The heat index value for August is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 104°F (40°C). Exercise more precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could precipitate heatstroke.For clarity, heat index numbers account for light winds and areas under shade. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

In August, the average relative humidity is 73%.Rainfall
In Homer, in August, during 17.5 rainfall days, 2.95" (75mm) of precipitation is typically accumulated. Throughout the year, there are 154.6 rainfall days, and 28.78" (731mm) of precipitation is accumulated.Snowfall

May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.Note: In August, the UV index of 6 transforms into the following advice:
Conform to measures and uphold sun safety traditions. Warding off skin and eye harm is necessary. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is at its strongest, and remember that parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Arm yourself against UV rays' harm with protective apparel and UV-filtering shades.
