Weather in August
Temperature
The transition into August marks the average high-temperature at a still hot 87.6°F (30.9°C), differing minimally from July's 88.7°F (31.5°C). Nighttime temperatures hover around an average low of 71.6°F (22°C) in August.Heat index
August's heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 104°F (40°C). Take greater precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could result from lengthy activity.When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.

Evade overexposure. Individuals with fair skin risk burning in under 20 minutes. Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, but remember that shade structures may not offer complete protection. To mitigate harm from sun exposure, pick sunglasses offering UVA and UVB defense.
