Weather in August
Temperature
August's onset brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 92.5°F (33.6°C), showing a minute difference from July's 92.8°F (33.8°C). Throughout August nights, Shady Oaks registers an average low-temperature of 73°F (22.8°C).Heat index
August's mean heat index is estimated at a blazing hot 118.4°F (48°C). Careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. With ongoing exertion, heatstroke becomes a possibility.Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.

Use measures and accept sun safety conventions. Guarding against skin and eye trauma is of high priority.
