Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Monticello, is another warm month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 63.3°F (17.4°C) and 81°F (27.2°C).

Temperature

Monticello's shift into August is marked by a subtle change to a still warm 81°F (27.2°C) from July's 81.9°F (27.7°C) in temperature. Nighttime temperature dips to a mean of 63.3°F (17.4°C) during August.

Heat index

The heat index in August is calculated to be a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). If one continues to be active during exposure, it might cause tiredness and subsequent heat cramps.
Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. 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.

As much as possible, limit direct sun exposure during this period. A wide-brim hat offers excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck. Sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection significantly reduce eye damage from sun exposure.
