Weather in August
Temperature
In August, McHugh experiences a barely noticeable shift in meteorological conditions, with average high-temperatures moving from 91.9°F (33.3°C) in July to a still tropical 91.8°F (33.2°C). McHugh experiences a consistent average temperature of 73.4°F (23°C) throughout the nights in August.Heat index
The heat index value during August is estimated at a blazing hot 118.4°F (48°C). Precaution: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are possible. Heatstroke is a serious risk with continued exertion.It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Youngsters frequently overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is an advanced sign of dehydration - thereby highlighting the importance of keeping hydrated, particularly during long physical activities.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.

Eschew overexposure. Those with light skin may suffer burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Be aware that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and try to reduce direct sun exposure during this period as much as possible. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes.
