Weather in August
Temperature
An average high-temperature of a still hot 86.5°F (30.3°C) marks August, exhibiting a close resemblance to the conditions in July. A noticeable downturn in temperature characterizes the August nights, averaging at a refreshing 63.5°F (17.5°C).Heat index
The average heat index in August is computed to be a fiery hot 95°F (35°C). Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. 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 quite important for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.

Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. A wide-brimmed hat provides unparalleled sun protection for sensitive areas like the eyes, ears, and neck.
