Weather in August
Temperature
August notes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 87.6°F (30.9°C), subtly differing from July's 88.9°F (31.6°C). During the month of August, Riegelwood experiences a steady low-temperature average of 73.8°F (23.2°C).Heat index
August's average heat index is calculated to be a scorching 104°F (40°C). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.

However, keep in mind that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Shield yourself from the harmful effects of UV radiation with sun-protective attire, a hat, and quality sunglasses.
