Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Magna Vista, is another hot month, with an average temperature varying between 90.3°F (32.4°C) and 72.7°F (22.6°C).

Temperature

Transitioning from July to August, Magna Vista observes an average high-temperature of a still hot 90.3°F (32.4°C), differing subtly from the previous month. August nights cool down to an average low-temperature of 72.7°F (22.6°C).

Heat index

For most parts of August, the heat index is evaluated at a scorching 111.2°F (44°C). Be cautious: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a possible consequence of continuous physical effort.
Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.

Shade structures might not provide complete sun protection. For minimizing sun-related eye damage, always choose sunglasses with UVA and UVB coverage.
