Weather in August
Temperature
The shift from July to August is characterized by an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 84.7°F (29.3°C), not significantly different from the 86°F (30°C) of July. Elmwood's temperature lowers to a mean of 65.8°F (18.8°C) during the nights in August.Heat index
In August, the average heat index is computed to be a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Implement enhanced safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could occur. Sustained activity might result in heatstroke.Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.

The months with the highest UV index in Elmwood are June through August, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the average person.Note: In August, the maximum UV index of 6 transforms into these recommendations:
Refrain from overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals could burn in under 20 minutes. Limit your direct sun exposure, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest. Shade structures might not provide complete sun protection. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
