Weather in August
Temperature
August's commencement is accompanied by an average high-temperature of a still hot 87.4°F (30.8°C), diverging marginally from July's 89.2°F (31.8°C). Sloan's August nights cool down to an average low-temperature of 70.9°F (21.6°C).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is computed to be a blistering 104°F (40°C). Implement additional cautionary measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could occur. Prolonged activity might induce heatstroke.Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.

The average daily maximum UV index in August is 6. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.Note: In August, the average maximum UV index of 6 translates into the following recommendations:
Undertake protective measures and comply with sun safety rules. Shielding against skin and eye damage is essential. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest, limit direct exposure to the Sun and note that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Arm yourself against UV rays' harm with protective apparel and UV-filtering shades.
