Weather in August
Temperature
Short's shift into August sets the average high-temperature at a still hot 89.2°F (31.8°C), a figure that deviates only slightly from July's 89.8°F (32.1°C). In Short, in August, the average low-temperature is an agreeable 69.1°F (20.6°C).Heat index
August's heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 105.8°F (41°C). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.

Sunshine
The average sunshine in August is 10.3h.UV index
In August, the average daily maximum UV index is 6. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the average person.Note: The UV index of 6 in August translates into these instructions:
Persist with safeguards and heed sun safety doctrines. Keeping sunburn at bay is of prime importance. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun's UV radiation is at its peak. Limit your exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. Limit sun-induced ocular harm with sunglasses that feature UVA and UVB filtration.
