Weather in August
Temperature
The onset of August marks an average high-temperature of a still tropical 88.2°F (31.2°C), hardly differing from July's 90.5°F (32.5°C). Throughout the August nights, Norwood encounters a low-temperature of 68.5°F (20.3°C).Heat index
In August, the average heat index is computed to be a fiery hot 102.2°F (39°C). Heightened precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children frequently do not comprehend the need for rest and hydration. Thirst is an advanced stage of dehydration - staying hydrated, especially during extended physical exercises, is essential.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.

August is the month with the most rainfall. Rain falls for 13.9 days and accumulates 1.73" (44mm) of precipitation.Snowfall

Sunshine
In August, the average sunshine is 10.4h.UV index
The average daily maximum UV index in August is 6. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the ordinary person.Note: A maximum high UV index of 6 in August translates into the following recommendations:
Conform to measures and uphold sun safety traditions. Warding off skin and eye harm is necessary. Remember that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. Consider a wide-brim hat essential for effective sun defense covering your face, neck, and eyes.
