Weather in August
Temperature
Wilson's average high-temperature in August is a still tropical 86.2°F (30.1°C), marking an insignificant difference from the 88.2°F (31.2°C) of July. The average temperature during August nights dips to a pleasant 69.4°F (20.8°C).Heat index
The heat index value for August is calculated to be a fiery hot 98.6°F (37°C). Incorporate additional preventive steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. 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 are primarily vital for children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.

Uphold preventive measures and conform to sun safety guidelines. Defending against skin and eye harm is crucial. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes.
