Weather in August
Temperature
The weather during August records an average high-temperature of a warm 85.1°F (29.5°C), closely mirroring the preceding month. During the month of August, Waldorf anticipates a mean low-temperature of 67.5°F (19.7°C).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is estimated at a fiery hot 95°F (35°C). Undertake additional precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

The average relative humidity in August is 76%.Rainfall
The month with the most rainfall is August, when the rain falls for 15 days and typically aggregates up to 3.31" (84mm) of precipitation.Snowfall

Sunshine
In August, the average sunshine is 10h.UV index
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 risk from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.Note: The UV index of 6 during August translates into the following guidance:
Evade overexposure. Individuals with fair skin risk burning in under 20 minutes. Stay out of direct sunlight between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide complete protection. Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays.
