Weather in August
Temperature
Rockwell records an average high-temperature of a still hot 87.6°F (30.9°C) as August arrives, nearly mirroring the previous month's climate. Throughout August, Rockwell experiences a low-temperature average of 67.3°F (19.6°C).Heat index
During August, the heat index is calculated to be a fiery hot 100.4°F (38°C). Incorporate extra safety measures to avoid heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Continuous activity could provoke heatstroke.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase 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.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.

May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.Note: In August, an average UV index of 6 transforms into the following instructions:
Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. On days when the sun blazes, arm yourself with sunglasses that block UVA and UVB radiation.
