Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August coincides with an average high-temperature of a still tropical 86.5°F (30.3°C), indicating a minimal shift from July's 88°F (31.1°C). Throughout the nights in August, an average low-temperature of 66°F (18.9°C) is noted in Norwood.Heat index
In August, the average heat index is computed to be a torrid 98.6°F (37°C). Use additional protective measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible outcomes. Continuous activity might lead to heatstroke.Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. 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 important for children. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.

Sunshine
The average sunshine in August in Norwood is 10.3h.UV index
May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for ordinary individuals.Note: The maximum UV index of 6 during August leads to these instructions:
Guard against overexposure. Protection from sun-induced harm is essential. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun's UV radiation is at its peak. Limit your exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. A hat with a generous brim can prevent nearly 50% of UV rays from reaching your eyes.
