Weather in August
Temperature
The month of August sees the highest average temperatures, reaching 90.1°F (32.3°C) at the peak and 75°F (23.9°C) at the low.Heat index
August's average heat index is evaluated at a blazing hot 113°F (45°C). Stay alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a likely outcome of ongoing activity.It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.

Incorporate safeguards and honour sun safety principles. Protection from skin and eye damage is obligatory. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. A hat with a generous brim can prevent nearly 50% of UV rays from reaching your eyes.
