Weather in August
Temperature
Entering August, Washington's average high-temperature reads a still hot 90.1°F (32.3°C), indicating a close resemblance to the previous month's climate. Washington sees an average low-temperature of 70°F (21.1°C) during August.Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is estimated at a blistering 107.6°F (42°C). Incorporate special precautions, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is substantial. Sustained activity could cause heatstroke.It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

Exercise precautions and adapt sun safety practices. Defence against skin and eye affliction is paramount. To the best of your ability, limit your exposure to the sun between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. To cut down UV radiation exposure by about half, sport a wide-brim hat.
