Weather in August
Temperature
The warmest temperatures occur during August, when averages reach a peak of 91.2°F (32.9°C) and a low of 73.9°F (23.3°C).Heat index
August's heat index is evaluated at a blazing hot 116.6°F (47°C). Careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. With ongoing exertion, heatstroke becomes a possibility.The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. 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 highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

Embrace precautions and observe sun safety norms. Evasion of sunburn is a necessity. 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. Sun-protective clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses are particularly helpful in blocking UV radiation's harmful effects.
