Weather in August
Temperature
Knight sees the highest average temperatures during the months of July and August, peaking at 93.6°F (34.2°C).Heat index
The heat index in August is calculated to be a burning hot 122°F (50°C). Stay alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a likely outcome of ongoing activity.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.

The months with the highest UV index are May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the average person.Note: In August, the maximum UV index of 7 suggests this advice:
Shield from overexposure. Defense against sun-related harm is required. Avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide full protection. For holistic sun protection encompassing the eyes, ears, face, and neck, a wide-brim hat is key.
