August, the last month of the summer in Arlington, is another warm month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 59.7°F (15.4°C) and 81.5°F (27.5°C).

Heat index

In August, the heat index is evaluated at a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). With sustained exposure and activity, exhaustion becomes probable, resulting in heat cramps.
Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
