Weather in August
Temperature
August's weather records an average high-temperature of a still hot 88.5°F (31.4°C), showing little deviation from July. Belmont's temperature lowers to a mean of 68.4°F (20.2°C) during the nights in August.Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is computed to be a sweltering 102.2°F (39°C). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.

A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.Note: During August, 6 as the daily maximum UV index converts into the following advice:
Steer clear of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can be scorched in less than 20 minutes. Avoid exposure to the Sun and try to stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent, but be aware that parasols or canopies may not offer full protection. Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays.
