Weather in August
Temperature
The introduction of August notes a subtle temperature variation to a warm 85.1°F (29.5°C) from July's 86.4°F (30.2°C). Frost documents a significant temperature variance in August, with the mean nighttime lows settling at a refreshing 62.2°F (16.8°C).Heat index
In August, the average heat index is evaluated at a very hot 95°F (35°C). Implement more preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke might result from extended activity.Heat index details are generally centered around shaded locations and a mild breeze. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
Humidity
August is the least humid month, with an average relative humidity of 75%.Rainfall
In August, the rain falls for 14.4 days. Throughout August, 2.4" (61mm) of precipitation is accumulated. In Frost, during the entire year, the rain falls for 166.6 days and collects up to 32.2" (818mm) of precipitation.Snowfall

Sunshine
With an average of 10.5h of sunshine, August has the most sunshine of the year.UV index
May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for average individuals.Note: The average daily UV index of 6 in August transforms into the following instructions:
Skirt overexposure. People with light complexions might get scorched in under 20 minutes. The Sun's UV radiation is most intense from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. 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.
