Weather in August
Temperature
As Houston steps into August, the average high-temperature is measured at a still hot 90.3°F (32.4°C), displaying minor differences from July's 91°F (32.8°C). In August, the recorded average low-temperature is a pleasant 70.9°F (21.6°C).Heat index
In August, the average heat index is calculated to be a blistering 109.4°F (43°C). Keep on guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is a possible danger with ongoing physical activity.In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. 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. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.

Sunshine
The average sunshine in August is 10.2h.UV index
The average daily maximum UV index in August is 6. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for average individuals.Note: A daily high UV index of 6 in August leads to these guidelines:
Guard oneself from overexposure. Defence against sun injury is vital. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., UV radiation is strongest. Make an effort to avoid direct sunlight during this time, remembering that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. For minimizing sun-related eye damage, always choose sunglasses with UVA and UVB coverage.
