Weather in August
Temperature
The introduction of August notes a subtle temperature variation to a still hot 86.5°F (30.3°C) from July's 88°F (31.1°C). In August, Nichols experiences an average nighttime temperature of 67.8°F (19.9°C).Heat index
August's heat index is evaluated at a very hot 98.6°F (37°C). More protective measures are required - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke may follow lengthy activity.It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Youngsters often neglect the necessity for rest and hydration. Thirst is a sign of advancing dehydration - thus the importance of maintaining hydration, specifically during long-lasting physical activities.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.

Beware of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals risk burning in less than 20 minutes. Remember that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. A wide-brim hat offers excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck. Sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection significantly reduce eye damage from sun exposure.
