Weather in August
Temperature
As August unfolds, the average high-temperature reaches a still hot 91.9°F (33.3°C), hinting at a slight fluctuation from the previous month. In August, the nighttime temperature lowers to an average of 73.6°F (23.1°C).Heat index
August's heat index is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 116.6°F (47°C). Precaution: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are possible. Heatstroke is a serious risk with continued exertion.The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance 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.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.

Shield from overexposure. Defense against sun-related harm is required. It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Employ a hat with a wide brim for robust protection, cutting UV exposure by half.
