Weather in August
Temperature
The commencement of August records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 87.8°F (31°C), barely varying from July's 90.1°F (32.3°C). Locust's average low-temperature during August nights is observed to be an agreeable 68.5°F (20.3°C).Heat index
August's average heat index is appraised at a very hot 102.2°F (39°C). Take special precautions - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke may occur with lengthy activity.When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. 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 exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.

The month with the most rainfall is August, when the rain falls for 17.4 days and typically aggregates up to 3.15" (80mm) of precipitation.Snowfall

Sunshine
The average sunshine in August is 10.3h.UV index
The months with the highest UV index are May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the average person.Note: The maximum daily UV index, 6 in August, converts into the following recommendations:
Deter overexposure. Protecting against the sun's effects is essential. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun.
