Weather in August
Temperature
Upon the onset of August, Breeding witnesses an average high-temperature of a warm 85.1°F (29.5°C), showing a close resemblance to the prior month. August generally records an average low-temperature of 65.3°F (18.5°C).Heat index
The heat index value for August is computed to be a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Take special precautions - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke may occur with lengthy activity.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.

Sustain precautions and conform to sun safety norms. Preventing sunburn is necessary. Stay out of direct sunlight and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest, but remember that shade devices may not offer full sun protection. During bright days, sunglasses that offer UVA and UVB defense are recommended.
