Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August coincides with an average high-temperature of a warm 85.5°F (29.7°C), indicating a minimal shift from July's 86.9°F (30.5°C). Minor experiences a substantial divergence from daytime highs in August, with average lows hovering around a refreshing 62.8°F (17.1°C).Heat index
The heat index value during August is computed to be a fiery hot 95°F (35°C). Ensure extra safety steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Long activity might lead to heatstroke.Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild winds. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 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.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.

For optimum UV protection, wear sun-resistant attire complemented with a hat and quality shades.
