Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Lake, is another tropical month, with temperature in the range of an average high of 90.7°F (32.6°C) and an average low of 74.8°F (23.8°C).

Temperature

Lake marks the start of August with an average high-temperature of a still tropical 90.7°F (32.6°C), hinting at a slight fluctuation from July's 91°F (32.8°C). During August, Lake records a consistent average nighttime temperature of 74.8°F (23.8°C).

Heat index

August's average heat index is computed to be a burning hot 114.8°F (46°C). Keep wary: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a possible outcome of ongoing activity.
For clarity, heat index numbers account for light winds and areas under shade. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant 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.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.

Note: A maximum high daily UV index of 7 during August translates into the following directions:
Fend off overexposure. Sun protection is vital. 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. Sunglasses that guard against UVA and UVB rays are pivotal in minimizing sun-induced ocular damage.
