Weather in August
Temperature
As July transitions into August, the average high-temperature rests at a still hot 93.7°F (34.3°C), maintaining a close resemblance to the previous month. During August, Colony experiences an average low-temperature of 72.1°F (22.3°C) at night.Heat index
For August, the heat index is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 105.8°F (41°C). More protective measures are required - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke may follow lengthy activity.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.

June through August, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for ordinary individuals.Note: The maximum daily UV index of 7 in August interprets into the following recommendations:
Beware of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals risk burning in less than 20 minutes. Limit your exposure to the sun's UV radiation, which is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and note that parasols or canopies may not provide full sun protection. Protect your eyes, ears, face, and neck from the Sun by wearing a wide-brimmed hat.
