Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August brings an average high-temperature of a warm 85.5°F (29.7°C), subtly diverging from July's 88°F (31.1°C). Reading experiences a steady low-temperature of 66.2°F (19°C) throughout August.Heat index
August's mean heat index is estimated at a fiery hot 95°F (35°C). Ensure extra safety steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Long activity might lead to heatstroke.Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
Humans rely on perspiration as a cooling mechanism, wherein the evaporating sweat counteracts excessive warmth. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

Sunshine
In Reading, the average sunshine in August is 10.5h.UV index
In August, the average daily maximum UV index is 6. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.Note: An average UV index of 6 in August transforms into this advice:
Employ safeguards and advocate sun safety protocols. Shielding against skin and eye damage is crucial. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. A hat with a broad brim is indispensable, filtering out up to half of UV rays.
