Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Fullerton, is another tropical month, with an average temperature varying between 93.2°F (34°C) and 73.2°F (22.9°C).

Temperature

August experiences an average high-temperature of a still hot 93.2°F (34°C), barely different from July's 93.6°F (34.2°C). In the month of August, the average low-temperature usually rests at an agreeable 73.2°F (22.9°C).

Heat index

In August, the heat index is estimated at a blazing hot 120.2°F (49°C). Take note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke can occur with prolonged effort.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. 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 especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

Note: The UV index of 7 during August translates into the following guidance:
Sidestep overexposure. Individuals with fair complexions risk burning in fewer than 20 minutes. Remember that UV radiation from the Sun is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to limit direct sun exposure during this time. Limit sun-induced ocular harm with sunglasses that feature UVA and UVB filtration.
