Weather in August
Temperature
The commencement of August introduces an average high-temperature of a still tropical 90°F (32.2°C), closely mirroring the preceding month. An average low-temperature of 72.3°F (22.4°C) is recorded in the month of August.Heat index
During August, the heat index is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 109.4°F (43°C). Notice: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued strenuous activity might lead to heatstroke.It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.

The average relative humidity in August is 75%.Rainfall
In August, the rain falls for 16.5 days. Throughout August, 2.76" (70mm) of precipitation is accumulated. In Foote, during the entire year, the rain falls for 159 days and collects up to 38.54" (979mm) of precipitation.Snowfall

Sunshine
In August, the average sunshine is 10.4h.UV index
June through August, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.Note: The UV index of 7 in August translates into these instructions:
Persist with safeguards and heed sun safety doctrines. Keeping sunburn at bay is of prime importance. Be aware that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and try to reduce direct sun exposure during this period as much as possible. A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun.
