Weather in August
Temperature
With its high average temperature of 89.2°F (31.8°C) and a low of 77.9°F (25.5°C), August is regarded as the warmest month.Heat index
During August, the heat index is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 107.6°F (42°C). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.

Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, but remember that shade structures may not offer complete protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun. Be mindful! Sand and water reflections can up the Sun's UV exposure.
