Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Newton, is another tropical month, with an average temperature varying between 71.8°F (22.1°C) and 91.2°F (32.9°C).

Temperature

On the advent of August, Newton's average high-temperature exhibits a minor adjustment to a still tropical 91.2°F (32.9°C) from July's 91.4°F (33°C). Newton observes an average nighttime low-temperature of 71.8°F (22.1°C) during the month of August.

Heat index

The heat index value for August is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 113°F (45°C). Watchful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are predicted. Continued exertion could lead to heatstroke.
Regarding the heat index, one should be aware it's determined by shaded settings and mild winds. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.

Apply measures and align with sun safety principles. Safeguarding against skin and eye injury is pivotal. 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. On days when the sun blazes, arm yourself with sunglasses that block UVA and UVB radiation.
