Weather in August
Temperature
The commencement of August records an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 85.1°F (29.5°C), barely varying from July's 86.5°F (30.3°C). During August nights, Sharkey documents a marked contrast from daily highs, with an average temperature of 62.6°F (17°C).Heat index
The heat index value for August is computed to be a very hot 95°F (35°C). Implement additional safety measures to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity might trigger heatstroke.Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Kids frequently ignore the importance of taking a break and rehydrating. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during long-lasting physical activities.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.

Implement precautions and maintain sun safety methods. Avoidance of sunburn is demanded. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, and note that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer full sun protection. Sun-protective clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses are particularly helpful in blocking UV radiation's harmful effects.
