Weather in August
Temperature
The beginning of August reveals an average high-temperature of a still hot 86.7°F (30.4°C), showing minimal deviation from the previous month. During August, an average low-temperature of 74.7°F (23.7°C) is observed.Heat index
The heat index for August is evaluated at a torrid 100.4°F (38°C). Extra safeguards are necessary to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Prolonged activity might cause heatstroke.For clarity, heat index numbers account for light winds and areas under shade. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Children frequently do not understand the need for recuperation and hydration. Thirst, being a late manifestation of dehydration, underlines the need to hydrate frequently, especially when engaging in prolonged physical exercises.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the average person.Note: In August, the average maximum UV index of 7 translates into the following recommendations:
Take precautions against overexposure. Protection against sun damage is needed. The Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. Sunglasses that guard against UVA and UVB rays are pivotal in minimizing sun-induced ocular damage.
