Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August records an average high-temperature of a still hot 90.5°F (32.5°C), closely related to the 91.2°F (32.9°C) observed in July. Derma, in August, witnesses an average low-temperature of 70.7°F (21.5°C).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is appraised at an extremely hot 111.2°F (44°C). Watchful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are predicted. Continued exertion could lead to heatstroke.In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

The average daily maximum UV index in August is 6. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the average person.Note: In August, a daily maximum UV index of 6 leads to the following instructions:
Eschew overexposure. Those with light skin may suffer burns in fewer than 20 minutes. UV radiation from the Sun is most intense between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. Using UVA and UVB-protective sunglasses and sun-protective clothing is effective against UV radiation.
