August, the last month of the summer in Argonia, is another tropical month, with temperature in the range of an average high of 91.4°F (33°C) and an average low of 71.2°F (21.8°C).

Temperature

As August unfolds, the average high-temperature reaches a still hot 91.4°F (33°C), hinting at a slight fluctuation from the previous month. Argonia encounters a steady low-temperature average of 71.2°F (21.8°C) throughout the month of August.

Heat index

During August, the heat index is computed to be a sweltering 102.2°F (39°C). Adopt extra safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.
Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

In August, the average relative humidity is 59%.

Use measures and accept sun safety conventions. Guarding against skin and eye trauma is of high priority. Avoid direct exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, noting that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer complete sun protection. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes.
