Weather in August
Temperature
With average temperatures fluctuating between a high of 90.1°F (32.3°C) and a low of 75°F (23.9°C), August stands out as the warmest month.Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is appraised at a burning hot 113°F (45°C). Stay vigilant: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke may follow prolonged exertion.Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.

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 risk from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the average person.Note: The daily maximum UV index of 7 in August interprets into the following advice:
Shield from overexposure. Defense against sun-related harm is required. Avoid direct exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, noting that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer complete sun protection. Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays.
