Weather in August
Temperature
At the onset of August, Carto records an average high-temperature of a still hot 90.5°F (32.5°C), showing little deviation from the preceding month. Nighttime temperatures hover around an average low of 72.7°F (22.6°C) in August.Heat index
During August, the heat index is evaluated at a blazing hot 113°F (45°C). Precaution: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are possible. Heatstroke is a serious risk with continued exertion.Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. 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 of high significance for children. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
Humidity
In August, the average relative humidity is 77%.Rainfall
August is the month with the most rainfall. Rain falls for 20.3 days and accumulates 4.13" (105mm) of precipitation.Snowfall
April through November are months without snowfall.Daylight
The average length of the day in August is 13h and 15min.On the first day of August, sunrise is at 6:17 am and sunset at 7:55 pm. On the last day of the month, sunrise is at 6:36 am and sunset at 7:24 pm CDT.
Sunshine
In August, the average sunshine is 10.1h.UV index
In Carto, the average daily maximum UV index in August is 6. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the average person.Note: In August, a regular UV index of 6 translates into these guidelines:
Adopt measures and apply sun safety strategies. Shielding from skin and eye damage is necessary. 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. During bright days, sunglasses that offer UVA and UVB defense are recommended.
