Weather in August
Temperature
The transition into August is marked with an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 84.9°F (29.4°C), showing an insignificant shift from July's 86.2°F (30.1°C). McKee's temperature exhibits a stark contrast from daytime to nighttime, averaging lows of 63°F (17.2°C) in August.Heat index
August's average heat index is computed to be a torrid 95°F (35°C). Apply extra caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke might occur with long-duration activity.It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.

Employ safeguards and advocate sun safety protocols. Shielding against skin and eye damage is crucial. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun's UV radiation is at its peak. Limit your exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
