Weather in August
Temperature
August stands out as Allen's warmest month, with an average high-temperature of 92.1°F (33.4°C) and a low-temperature of 72.1°F (22.3°C).Heat index
The heat index in August is calculated to be a burning hot 116.6°F (47°C). Keep alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke is a potential danger with continued physical activity.Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. 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.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.

Inhibit overexposure. Warding off sun damage is of utmost importance. 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. Your best bet for sun defense on the face, eyes, and neck is a hat with a wide brim.
