Weather in August
Temperature
The shift into August uncovers an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 84.4°F (29.1°C), subtly different from the previous month. In August, Ernestville records an average nighttime temperature of 65.8°F (18.8°C).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is computed to be a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Adopt enhanced safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps could occur. Continuous activity may induce heatstroke.Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.

A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the average person.Note: A maximum daily UV index of 6 during August morphs into the following directions:
Persist with safeguards and heed sun safety doctrines. Keeping sunburn at bay is of prime importance. Stay in the shade and limit sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Tightly woven clothing, when worn loosely, shields effectively against the Sun.
