Weather in August
Temperature
August's climate shows a minor adjustment in average high-temperatures to a moderately hot 84.7°F (29.3°C) from July's 86.5°F (30.3°C). Oakwood Park's nights in August cool down to an average low-temperature of 66.2°F (19°C).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is evaluated at a very hot 95°F (35°C). Implement heightened safety measures - risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is increased. Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.When referencing the heat index, its values are suitable for shady environments and light breezes. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.

Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, and note that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer full sun protection. On days when the sun blazes, arm yourself with sunglasses that block UVA and UVB radiation.
