Weather in August
Temperature
The start of August marks an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 85.6°F (29.8°C), hardly distinguishable from the conditions in July. The average temperature during August nights dips to a pleasant 68.2°F (20.1°C).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is computed to be a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Implement enhanced safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could occur. Sustained activity might result in heatstroke.It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.

May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.Note: In August, the maximum UV index of 6 suggests these recommendations:
Persist with safeguards and heed sun safety doctrines. Keeping sunburn at bay is of prime importance. During the period from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., UV radiation is highest. Try to avoid direct sunlight during these hours. Sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays play a pivotal role in reducing solar eye damage.
