Weather in August
Temperature
Wise experiences a recorded average high-temperature of a still hot 87.4°F (30.8°C) in August, closely aligned with July's 90°F (32.2°C). Throughout the month of August, Wise witnesses an average temperature of 67.6°F (19.8°C).Heat index
August's mean heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 100.4°F (38°C). Use additional protective measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible outcomes. Continuous activity might lead to heatstroke.From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

Implement preventive steps and embrace sun safety standards. Protection from skin and eye distress is compulsory. Limit direct sun exposure especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. However, keep in mind that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Sun-related eye harm can be minimized with proper sunglasses offering UVA and UVB coverage.
