Weather in August
Temperature
Prismatic's weather in August displays an average high-temperature of a still hot 91.2°F (32.9°C), showing minor disparity from July's 91.4°F (33°C). In the month of August, the average temperature dips to an agreeable 71.2°F (21.8°C) during the night.Heat index
For August, the heat index is evaluated at a burning hot 113°F (45°C). Beware: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are very likely. Heatstroke is imminent with prolonged activity.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.

Your best bet for sun defense on the face, eyes, and neck is a hat with a wide brim.
