Weather in August
Temperature
The initiation of August records an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 84.7°F (29.3°C), displaying a near consistency with the previous month. Scalf's average low-temperature of 62.2°F (16.8°C) in August reflects a considerable decline from the daytime peak.Heat index
The heat index value for August is evaluated at a fiery hot 95°F (35°C). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.

A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for ordinary individuals.Note: A typical high UV index of 6 in August suggests the following recommendations:
Use protective steps and abide by sun safety guidelines. Safeguarding against skin and eye harm is necessary. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the period of highest UV radiation. Remember, however, that not all shade structures offer full protection. Sun-related eye harm can be minimized with proper sunglasses offering UVA and UVB coverage.
