Weather in August
Temperature
August's advent denotes a minor fluctuation in the average high-temperature to a still warm 84.4°F (29.1°C) from July's 85.1°F (29.5°C). Throughout August, Cowan anticipates an average low-temperature of 63.9°F (17.7°C).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is evaluated at a hot 93.2°F (34°C). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.

Elude overexposure. Fair-skinned people could get burnt in less than 20 minutes.
