Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Clarks, is also a hot month, with an average temperature ranging between max 93.2°F (34°C) and min 73°F (22.8°C).

Temperature

August records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 93.2°F (34°C), indicating a minor variation from the preceding month. An average nighttime temperature of 73°F (22.8°C) is observed during August.

Heat index

August's heat index is estimated at a blazing hot 120.2°F (49°C). Heed: Expect heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continued action may cause heatstroke.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.

Elude overexposure. Fair-skinned people could get burnt in less than 20 minutes. Avoid exposure to the Sun and try to stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent, but be aware that parasols or canopies may not offer full protection. A hat with a generous brim can prevent nearly 50% of UV rays from reaching your eyes.
