Weather in August

The heat of July extends into August with similarly high temperatures, marking the end of the peak summer season. A characteristic late-summer weather dominates, featuring high levels of sunshine and humidity. A slight decrease in the maximum temperature to 86°F (30°C) provides slight relief from the previous month's peak heat. As the school season commences by the end of August, outdoor activities tend to dwindle. Yet, it remains an ideal period for visiting the town's parks and enjoying the warm summer nights.

Temperature

August denotes a minimal variation in the average high-temperature to a still tropical 86°F (30°C) from July's 87.6°F (30.9°C). Nevada's average low-temperature in August is measured at an enjoyable 66.7°F (19.3°C).

Heat index

August's average heat index is estimated at a fiery hot 96.8°F (36°C). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.
Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
