Weather in August
Temperature
The start of August sees the average high-temperature at a warm 85.8°F (29.9°C), showing little difference from July's 88°F (31.1°C). Saint Marys, during the nights of August, experiences an average temperature drop to a refreshing 65.8°F (18.8°C).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is evaluated at a very hot 96.8°F (36°C). Undertake additional precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.

Avoid excessive sunlight. Those with lighter skin may experience burning in less than 20 minutes. Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. A hat with a broad brim is indispensable, filtering out up to half of UV rays.
