Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Satsuma, is another hot month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 74.3°F (23.5°C) and 91.9°F (33.3°C).

Temperature

The beginning of August reveals an average high-temperature of a still hot 91.9°F (33.3°C), showing minimal deviation from the previous month. Nighttime temperatures consistently average a moderately hot 74.3°F (23.5°C) during August.

Heat index

In August, the average heat index is computed to be a burning hot 118.4°F (48°C). Prudent: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Heatstroke becomes imminent with sustained exertion.
Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: In August, a regular UV index of 7 translates into these guidelines:
Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. On days when the sun blazes, arm yourself with sunglasses that block UVA and UVB radiation.
