Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August is marked by an average high-temperature of a still hot 90.7°F (32.6°C), bearing a close resemblance to July. Ethel encounters an average low-temperature of 71.2°F (21.8°C) during August nights.Heat index
The heat index value during August is computed to be a blisteringly hot 111.2°F (44°C). Be alert: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is a threat with sustained physical activity.Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.

Sunshine
In August, the average sunshine is 10.2h.UV index
The average daily maximum UV index in August is 6. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.Note: An average maximum UV index of 6 in August leads to these recommendations:
Shun overexposure. Protection from sun ravages is indispensable. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. To cut down UV radiation exposure by about half, sport a wide-brim hat.
