Weather in August
Temperature
Windy Hills experiences a recorded average high-temperature of a still hot 86°F (30°C) in August, closely aligned with July's 86.9°F (30.5°C). During the month of August, the temperature generally drops to a low average of 66.2°F (19°C).Heat index
The heat index for August is calculated to be a torrid 96.8°F (36°C). Implement heightened safety measures - risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is increased. Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.Be informed that the heat index values are oriented around shady conditions and gentle breezes. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.

Guard oneself from overexposure. Defence against sun injury is vital. Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Fend off the sun's harsh rays with appropriate clothing, a wide-brim hat, and UV-protective sunglasses.
