Weather in August
Temperature
The beginning of August records an average high-temperature of a warm 84.9°F (29.4°C), almost echoing the conditions of the previous month. Throughout August nights, Mount Sherman registers an average low-temperature of 65.5°F (18.6°C).Heat index
In August, the average heat index is evaluated at a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Exercise more precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could precipitate heatstroke.It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

August and October, with an average relative humidity of 75%, are the least humid months.Rainfall
In August, the rain falls for 10.5 days. Throughout August, 0.94" (24mm) of precipitation is accumulated. Throughout the year, there are 111.3 rainfall days, and 10.04" (255mm) of precipitation is accumulated.Snowfall

Sunshine

May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.Note: The UV index of 6 in August translates into these instructions:
Use protective steps and abide by sun safety guidelines. Safeguarding against skin and eye harm is necessary. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest, limit direct exposure to the Sun and note that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly.
