Weather in August
Temperature
In Institute, August is the month with the highest recorded average temperatures, measuring a high of 91.6°F (33.1°C) and a low of 72.7°F (22.6°C).Heat index
The average heat index in August is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 114.8°F (46°C). Remain alert: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Extended effort can lead to heatstroke.One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.

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 health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.Note: In August, a daily UV index of 7 turns into the following recommendations:
Shield from overexposure. Defense against sun-related harm is required. Limit direct sun exposure especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. However, keep in mind that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Employ a hat with a wide brim for robust protection, cutting UV exposure by half.
