Weather in August
Temperature
The commencement of August records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 88.3°F (31.3°C), barely varying from July's 90.1°F (32.3°C). Hoffman's nighttime temperature in August drops to an average of 70.2°F (21.2°C).Heat index
The heat index value for August is estimated at a scorching 104°F (40°C). Undertake special precautions, the probability of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Prolonged activity may provoke heatstroke.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. 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. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
Humidity
In August, the average relative humidity is 74%.Rainfall
The month with the most rainfall is August, when the rain falls for 18.5 days and typically aggregates up to 4.06" (103mm) of precipitation.Snowfall

Sunshine
The average sunshine in August is 10h.UV index
In August, the average daily maximum UV index is 6. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.Note: In August, the maximum UV index of 6 suggests this advice:
Ward off overexposure. Defence against solar harm is crucial. Limit direct sun exposure especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. However, keep in mind that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. For minimizing sun-related eye damage, always choose sunglasses with UVA and UVB coverage.
