Weather in August
Temperature
As McNary transitions from July to August, the average high-temperatures adjust to a still tropical 91.9°F (33.3°C), nearly the same as the previous 92.1°F (33.4°C). In McNary, an average low-temperature of 73.2°F (22.9°C) is recorded during August nights.Heat index
August's mean heat index is evaluated at a burning hot 118.4°F (48°C). Warning: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Heatstroke is a risk with ongoing activity.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.

Beware of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals risk burning in less than 20 minutes. It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. A hat with a broad brim is indispensable, filtering out up to half of UV rays.
