Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Rockwell, is also a hot month, with an average temperature ranging between min 67.3°F (19.6°C) and max 87.6°F (30.9°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.

On days when the sun blazes, arm yourself with sunglasses that block UVA and UVB radiation.
