Weather in August
Temperature
Shifting into August, Watts records an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 85.6°F (29.8°C), presenting minor fluctuations compared to the previous month. Watts experiences a consistent, yet significant, drop from daily highs to a low-temperature of 62.6°F (17°C) throughout August.Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is calculated to be a fiery hot 96.8°F (36°C). More protective measures are required - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke may follow lengthy activity.Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and 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 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. 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. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.

As much as possible, limit direct sun exposure during this period. Fend off the sun's harsh rays with appropriate clothing, a wide-brim hat, and UV-protective sunglasses.
