Weather in August
Temperature
August's arrival brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 87.4°F (30.8°C), slightly deviating from July's 89.2°F (31.8°C). During August, the temperature tends to dip to an average of 70.9°F (21.6°C) at night.Heat index
For August, the heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 104°F (40°C). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of 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 highly critical for babies and toddlers. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.

Sunshine

The average daily maximum UV index in August is 6. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.Note: The maximum daily UV index of 6 in August interprets into the following recommendations:
Exercise precautions and adapt sun safety practices. Defence against skin and eye affliction is paramount. Remember that UV radiation from the Sun is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to limit direct sun exposure during this time. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes.
