Weather in August
Temperature
The commencement of August notes an average high-temperature of a still hot 88.3°F (31.3°C), exhibiting little difference from the previous month. Peoria's average low-temperature in August is measured at a pleasant 68.4°F (20.2°C).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is computed to be a very hot 102.2°F (39°C). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. 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. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.

Take precautions against overexposure. Protection against sun damage is needed. Avoid exposure to the Sun and try to stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent, but be aware that parasols or canopies may not offer full protection. A wide-brim hat offers excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck. Sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection significantly reduce eye damage from sun exposure.
