Weather in August
Temperature
As Sawyer transitions from July to August, the average high-temperatures adjust to a warm 85.5°F (29.7°C), nearly the same as the previous 86.2°F (30.1°C). August witnesses a substantial contrast between the daytime highs and the average low of 62.6°F (17°C).Heat index
The heat index value for August is estimated at a very hot 96.8°F (36°C). Undertake special precautions, the probability of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Prolonged activity may provoke heatstroke.Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.

Incorporate safeguards and honour sun safety principles. Protection from skin and eye damage is obligatory. Stay out of direct sunlight and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest, but remember that shade devices may not offer full sun protection.
