Weather in August
Temperature
Rocky marks the onset of August with an average high-temperature of a still fiery hot 95°F (35°C), subtly divergent from July's 95.9°F (35.5°C). Rocky, during August nights, observes an average temperature of 73.8°F (23.2°C).Heat index
The heat index for August is evaluated at a blistering 105.8°F (41°C). Undertake enhanced precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible risks. Continuous activity could trigger heatstroke.From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

Skirt overexposure. People with light complexions might get scorched in under 20 minutes. Stay out of direct sunlight and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest, but remember that shade devices may not offer full sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
