Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Upper Texas, is also a hot month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 90°F (32.2°C) and 74.8°F (23.8°C).

Temperature

The arrival of August records an average high-temperature of a still hot 90°F (32.2°C), closely related to the 90.1°F (32.3°C) observed in July. August brings Upper Texas a consistent average low-temperature of 74.8°F (23.8°C).

Heat index

The heat index value for August is appraised at a blazing hot 113°F (45°C). Careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. With ongoing exertion, heatstroke becomes a possibility.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

Uphold preventive measures and conform to sun safety guidelines. Defending against skin and eye harm is crucial. The Sun's UV radiation is at its strongest between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Minimize direct exposure to the sun during this period. Opt for tightly woven and loose clothing to enhance protection from the Sun.
