Weather in August
Temperature
Creston experiences an average high-temperature of a warm 85.1°F (29.5°C) in August, marking an insignificant shift from 86°F (30°C) in July. In Creston, an average temperature of 64.8°F (18.2°C) is noted during August nights.Heat index
During August, the heat index is computed to be a fiery hot 95°F (35°C). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.

Sunshine

The months with the highest UV index are May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.Note: The maximum UV index, 6 during August, leads to the following recommendations:
Undertake protective measures and comply with sun safety rules. Shielding against skin and eye damage is essential. Remember that UV radiation from the Sun is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to limit direct sun exposure during this time. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
