Weather in August
Temperature
The transition into August shows a subtle variation to a still moderately hot 83.5°F (28.6°C) from July's 85.6°F (29.8°C) in the average high-temperature. The average nighttime temperature lowers to a refreshing 67.3°F (19.6°C) throughout August.Heat index
In August, the heat index is computed to be a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). Persisting in activity during exposure could lead to weariness and subsequently to heat cramps.Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.

Sunshine

May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the average person.Note: In August, an average UV index of 6 transforms into the following instructions:
Avert overexposure. Light-skinned people might experience burning in less than 20 minutes. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this time.
