Weather in August
Temperature
Hodge records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 94.1°F (34.5°C) as August arrives, nearly mirroring the previous month's climate. The anticipated average low-temperature for August, an agreeable 72.5°F (22.5°C), shows a substantial deviation from the daytime maximums.Heat index
The average heat index in August is evaluated at a blazing hot 120.2°F (49°C). Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are quite likely. Heatstroke becomes a risk with continued exertion.Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. 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 hold particular importance for children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.

A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the average person.Note: In August, the maximum UV index of 7 transforms into these recommendations:
Dodge overexposure. Fair-skinned people can get singed in less than 20 minutes. Stay out of direct sunlight and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest, but remember that shade devices may not offer full sun protection. On days when the sun blazes, arm yourself with sunglasses that block UVA and UVB radiation.
