Weather in August
Temperature
The warmest period is usually observed in July and August, with the average high-temperature peaking at 91.2°F (32.9°C).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 116.6°F (47°C). On guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a potential hazard with continuous physical effort.Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

Incorporate safeguards and honour sun safety principles. Protection from skin and eye damage is obligatory. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this time. For excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck, consider a wide-brim hat.
