Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Winton, is another tropical month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 86.7°F (30.4°C) and 68.9°F (20.5°C).

Temperature

The transition into August reveals an average high-temperature of a still tropical 86.7°F (30.4°C), mirroring a close resemblance to July. Winton experiences a steady low-temperature of 68.9°F (20.5°C) throughout August.

Heat index

During August, the heat index is estimated at a torrid 100.4°F (38°C). Greater safety measures are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Continuous activity might trigger heatstroke.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

UV index

May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.
Note: In August, a regular UV index of 6 translates into these guidelines:
Use protective steps and abide by sun safety guidelines. Safeguarding against skin and eye harm is necessary. Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. On sunny days, it's ideal to wear sunglasses that filter out UVA and UVB rays.
