Weather in August
Temperature
August ushers in an average high-temperature of a warm 85.1°F (29.5°C), aligning closely with the preceding month. In the month of August, the average temperature dips to a comfortable 65.3°F (18.5°C) during the night.Heat index
The heat index for August is computed to be a very hot 95°F (35°C). Incorporate extra safety measures to avoid heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Continuous activity could provoke heatstroke.Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.

Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. To mitigate harm from sun exposure, pick sunglasses offering UVA and UVB defense.
