Weather in August
Temperature
Heater in August witnesses an average high-temperature of a still hot 87.1°F (30.6°C), indicating a slight variation from July's 88.3°F (31.3°C). An average nighttime temperature of 67.5°F (19.7°C) is noted during the month of August.Heat index
August's average heat index is evaluated at a sweltering 100.4°F (38°C). Adopt additional preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential outcomes. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. 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', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. 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 primarily vital for children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.

A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.Note: The UV index of 6 during August translates into the following guidance:
Fend off overexposure. Sun protection is vital. Be aware that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and try to reduce direct sun exposure during this period as much as possible. Sun-protective clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses are particularly helpful in blocking UV radiation's harmful effects.
