Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Vance, is another hot month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 71.6°F (22°C) and 88.9°F (31.6°C).

Temperature

Vance's shift from July to August is accompanied by an average high-temperature of a still tropical 88.9°F (31.6°C), a slight deviation from 90°F (32.2°C). During August, Vance witnesses a consistent average low-temperature of 71.6°F (22°C).

Heat index

In August, the average heat index is computed to be a scorching 105.8°F (41°C). Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.
Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.

Note: The daily high UV index of 7 during August translates into the following recommendations:
Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Be aware that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and try to reduce direct sun exposure during this period as much as possible. Limit sun-induced ocular harm with sunglasses that feature UVA and UVB filtration.
