Weather in August
Temperature
As August takes its course, Wilsonia's average high-temperature registers at a still tropical 91°F (32.8°C), closely aligning with the preceding month. An average low-temperature of 73°F (22.8°C) is noted in Wilsonia during the month of August.Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is computed to be a burning hot 113°F (45°C). Take heed: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Heatstroke is a potential outcome of continuous activity.When referencing the heat index, its values are suitable for shady environments and light breezes. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.

Stick with precautions and abide by sun safety procedures. Evading sunburn is essential. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is at its strongest, and remember that parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Your best bet for sun defense on the face, eyes, and neck is a hat with a wide brim.
