Weather in August
Temperature
As July turns into August, the average high-temperatures rest at a still hot 88°F (31.1°C), showing a minor variation from the prior month. An average nighttime temperature of 66.6°F (19.2°C) is recorded in Murrays Hill during August.Heat index
The heat index in August is calculated to be a torrid 100.4°F (38°C). Incorporate extra safety measures to avoid heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Continuous activity could provoke heatstroke.When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to 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 physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.Note: A maximum daily UV index of 6 during August morphs into the following directions:
Stand by precautions and apply sun safety measures. Evading sunburn is of great importance. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, and note that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer full sun protection. Tightly woven clothing, when worn loosely, shields effectively against the Sun.
