Weather in August
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.
Humidity
In August, the average relative humidity is 74%.Rainfall
In Newton, in August, it is raining for 19.1 days, with typically 3.19" (81mm) of accumulated precipitation. In Newton, during the entire year, the rain falls for 167.6 days and collects up to 36.54" (928mm) of precipitation.Snowfall

The average length of the day in August is 13h and 18min.On the first day of August, sunrise is at 6:11 am and sunset at 7:53 pm. On the last day of the month, sunrise is at 6:31 am and sunset at 7:21 pm CDT.
Sunshine
In Newton, the average sunshine in August is 10.3h.UV index
The average daily maximum UV index in August is 6. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.Note: The UV index of 6 during August translates into the following guidance:
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.
