Weather in August
Temperature
Central's shift into August is marked by a subtle change to a moderately hot 85.6°F (29.8°C) from July's 86.5°F (30.3°C) in temperature. Throughout the month of August, Central witnesses an average temperature of 65.5°F (18.6°C).Heat index
August's heat index is appraised at a sweltering 96.8°F (36°C). Greater safety measures are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Continuous activity might trigger heatstroke.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.

Take precautions against overexposure. Protection against sun damage is needed. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, and note that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer full sun protection. Protect your eyes, ears, face, and neck from the Sun by wearing a wide-brimmed hat.
