Weather in August
Temperature
August's advent denotes a minor fluctuation in the average high-temperature to a still tropical 91°F (32.8°C) from July's 91.6°F (33.1°C). Gloster, during the nights of August, experiences an average temperature drop to an agreeable 72.5°F (22.5°C).Heat index
The heat index in August is appraised at a blazing hot 114.8°F (46°C). Beware: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are very likely. Heatstroke is imminent with prolonged activity.Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

Sidestep overexposure. Individuals with fair complexions risk burning in fewer than 20 minutes. Remember that UV radiation from the Sun is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to limit direct sun exposure during this time. On days when the sun blazes, arm yourself with sunglasses that block UVA and UVB radiation.
