Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August is marked by an average high-temperature of a still warm 82.6°F (28.1°C), bearing a close resemblance to July. Gerber Knoll experiences an average temperature drop to a refreshing 64.8°F (18.2°C) during August nights.Heat index
During August, the heat index is evaluated at a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). Uninterrupted exposure and activity might result in fatigue, potentially causing heat cramps.One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.

Sunshine

May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the ordinary person.Note: The daily high UV index of 6 in August translates into this advice:
Refrain from overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals could burn in under 20 minutes. Try to minimize direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
