Weather in August
Temperature
The shift from July to August is characterized by an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 85.6°F (29.8°C), not significantly different from the 86.9°F (30.5°C) of July. In the month of August, the average low-temperature usually rests at a refreshing 66.4°F (19.1°C).Heat index
In August, the heat index is calculated to be a fiery hot 96.8°F (36°C). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.

Endorse precautions and be consistent with sun safety guidelines. Preventing sunburn is paramount. Try to minimize direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Consider a wide-brim hat essential for effective sun defense covering your face, neck, and eyes.
