Weather in August
Temperature
Severn observes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 86.7°F (30.4°C) in August, barely different from 88°F (31.1°C) in July. Throughout August, a steady low-temperature average of 68.9°F (20.5°C) is noted.Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is estimated at a very hot 100.4°F (38°C). Adopt enhanced safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps could occur. Continuous activity may induce heatstroke.Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. 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 hold particular significance for children. Kids frequently ignore the importance of taking a break and rehydrating. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during long-lasting physical activities.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.

May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for ordinary individuals.Note: In August, the maximum UV index of 6 transforms into these recommendations:
Use protective steps and abide by sun safety guidelines. Safeguarding against skin and eye harm is necessary. Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, but remember that shade structures may not offer complete protection. Select sunglasses that boast both UVA and UVB protection to limit the adverse effects of the sun on the eyes.
