Weather in August
Temperature
August, characterized by an average high temperature of 91.8°F (33.2°C) and a low temperature of 73°F (22.8°C), is generally the warmest month.Heat index
In August, the average heat index is appraised at a burning hot 114.8°F (46°C). Notice: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued strenuous activity might lead to heatstroke.Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.

Eschew overexposure. Those with light skin may suffer burns in fewer than 20 minutes. 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. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
