Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August records an average high-temperature of a still hot 89.2°F (31.8°C), closely related to the 90.1°F (32.3°C) observed in July. Nighttime temperatures in August average to a pleasant 69.4°F (20.8°C).Heat index
The average heat index in August is evaluated at an extremely hot 105.8°F (41°C). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.

Take precautions and utilize sun safety practices. Protection against skin and eye damage is required. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but keep in mind that not all shade structures provide complete protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
