Weather in August
Temperature
The advent of August observes an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 82.9°F (28.3°C), nearly identical to July's 84.4°F (29.1°C). Oxford's nighttime temperature in August falls to an average of 69.1°F (20.6°C).Heat index
August's mean heat index is estimated at a hot 89.6°F (32°C). A sense of exhaustion might occur with extended exposure and activity, potentially causing heat cramps.Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.

Elude overexposure. Fair-skinned people could get burnt in less than 20 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide full protection. Limit sun-induced ocular harm with sunglasses that feature UVA and UVB filtration.
