Weather in August
Temperature
The average high-temperature during August is a still tropical 86.2°F (30.1°C), almost matching the conditions of the preceding month. Dittmer experiences an average nighttime temperature of 66.7°F (19.3°C) in the month of August.Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 98.6°F (37°C). Implement additional safety measures to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity might trigger heatstroke.It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.

Refrain from overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals could burn in under 20 minutes. Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes.
