Weather in August
Temperature
Skyland's shift into August is marked by a subtle change to a still hot 88.3°F (31.3°C) from July's 89.4°F (31.9°C) in temperature. During August, the nighttime temperature presents a clear descent from the daily peaks, falling to an average of 66.7°F (19.3°C).Heat index
The heat index in August is calculated to be a sweltering 100.4°F (38°C). Heightened safety actions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may lead to heatstroke.In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.

Incorporate safeguards and honour sun safety principles. Protection from skin and eye damage is obligatory. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this time. Shield yourself from the harmful effects of UV radiation with sun-protective attire, a hat, and quality sunglasses.
