Weather in August
Temperature
August's advent denotes a minor fluctuation in the average high-temperature to a still hot 87.3°F (30.7°C) from July's 88°F (31.1°C). During the nights in August, an average low-temperature of 67.6°F (19.8°C) is observed.Heat index
In August, the heat index is estimated at a torrid 102.2°F (39°C). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Perspiring is a crucial mechanism for the human body, allowing it to release excessive warmth through evaporating sweat. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

Adopt measures and apply sun safety strategies. Shielding from skin and eye damage is necessary. Limit direct sun exposure especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. However, keep in mind that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
