Weather in August
Temperature
During August, the average high-temperature is a still hot 93.2°F (34°C), maintaining a close resemblance to that of the preceding month. August brings an average low-temperature of 73°F (22.8°C) to Urania.Heat index
In August, the average heat index is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 120.2°F (49°C). Prudent: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Heatstroke becomes imminent with sustained exertion.Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.
Humidity
The average relative humidity in August is 74%.Rainfall
In Urania, during August, the rain falls for 19.3 days and regularly aggregates up to 3.62" (92mm) of precipitation. Throughout the year, there are 172.1 rainfall days, and 39.45" (1002mm) of precipitation is accumulated.Snowfall
April through November are months without snowfall.Daylight
The average length of the day in August is 13h and 17min.On the first day of August, sunrise is at 6:25 am and sunset at 8:05 pm. On the last day of the month, sunrise is at 6:44 am and sunset at 7:34 pm CDT.
Sunshine
In August, the average sunshine is 10h.UV index
The months with the highest UV index are June through August, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes 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:
Deflect overexposure. Sun protection is a necessity. 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. Sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays play a pivotal role in reducing solar eye damage.
