Weather in August
Temperature
In August, Buckeye experiences a minor shift in meteorological conditions with average high-temperatures marked at a still hot 92.5°F (33.6°C), closely mirroring the climate in July. Nighttime temperature dips to a mean of 73°F (22.8°C) during August.Heat index
The heat index in August is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 118.4°F (48°C). Be wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are highly anticipated. With continued activity, heatstroke is very likely.One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are quite important for 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.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.

Use protective steps and abide by sun safety guidelines. Safeguarding against skin and eye harm is necessary. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure to the Sun during this period. Limit sun-induced ocular harm with sunglasses that feature UVA and UVB filtration.
