Weather in August
Temperature
McRaney's warmest temperatures are experienced in August, with average high temperatures of 91.4°F (33°C) and lows of 72°F (22.2°C).Heat index
In August, the heat index is calculated to be a blazing hot 114.8°F (46°C). Alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely to occur. Prolonged exertion can lead to heatstroke.The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

In August, the average daily maximum UV index is 6. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.Note: The daily maximum UV index of 6 in August interprets into the following advice:
Ward off overexposure. Defence against solar harm is crucial. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, and note that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer full sun protection. Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays.
