Weather in August
Temperature
Flora marks the arrival of August with an average high-temperature of a still hot 94.3°F (34.6°C), hardly different from July's 94.6°F (34.8°C). Throughout the nights in August, an average low-temperature of 73°F (22.8°C) is noted in Flora.Heat index
The heat index for August is estimated at a blazing hot 120.2°F (49°C). Remain cautious: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are foreseeable. Ongoing activity may precipitate heatstroke.One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.

The month with the most rainfall is August, when the rain falls for 15.9 days and typically aggregates up to 2.87" (73mm) of precipitation.Snowfall

Sunshine
In August, the average sunshine is 10.2h.UV index
The months with the highest UV index are June through August, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for average individuals.Note: In August, a regular UV index of 7 translates into these guidelines:
Use protective steps and abide by sun safety guidelines. Safeguarding against skin and eye harm is necessary. The Sun's UV radiation is most powerful between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. To the extent possible, limit exposure to the direct sun during these hours. Consider a wide-brim hat essential for effective sun defense covering your face, neck, and eyes.
