Weather in August
Temperature
The high-temperature average in August for Silex is a moderately hot 85.3°F (29.6°C), staying closely aligned with July's conditions. An average nighttime temperature of 65.8°F (18.8°C) is witnessed throughout August.Heat index
For August, the heat index is evaluated at a torrid 95°F (35°C). Incorporate special precautions, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is substantial. Sustained activity could cause heatstroke.The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.

Act on precautions and pay attention to sun safety recommendations. Avoidance of sunburn is obligatory. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
