Weather in August
Temperature
The introduction of August notes a subtle temperature variation to a still tropical 92.1°F (33.4°C) from July's 92.5°F (33.6°C). During August, Alderson detects a significant contrast from its daytime temperatures, with nights averaging at an agreeable 70.3°F (21.3°C).Heat index
For August, the heat index is computed to be an extremely hot 109.4°F (43°C). Observe: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is on the horizon with prolonged exertion.Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.

With an average relative humidity of 67%, August is the least humid month.Rainfall
In August, the rain falls for 12.3 days. Throughout August, 2.56" (65mm) of precipitation is accumulated. Throughout the year, there are 128.5 rainfall days, and 24.25" (616mm) of precipitation is accumulated.Snowfall

Sunshine
August has the most sunshine of the year, with an average of 10.8h of sunshine.UV index
In August, the average daily maximum UV index is 6. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.Note: In August, the maximum UV index of 6 suggests this advice:
Embrace precautions and observe sun safety norms. Evasion of sunburn is a necessity. 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. Limit sun-induced ocular harm with sunglasses that feature UVA and UVB filtration.
