Weather in August
Temperature
The warmest period is usually observed in July and August, with the average high-temperature peaking at 91.8°F (33.2°C).Heat index
In August, the average heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 109.4°F (43°C). Be cautious: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a possible consequence of continuous physical effort.One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital 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.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. When relative humidity is heightened, it slows the rate of evaporation, thereby decreasing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a sensation of overheating. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.

In August, the average daily maximum UV index is 6. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.Note: The daily high UV index of 6 during August translates into the following recommendations:
Shun overexposure. Protection from sun ravages is indispensable. Limit your direct sun exposure, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest. Shade structures might not provide complete sun protection. Shield yourself from the harmful effects of UV radiation with sun-protective attire, a hat, and quality sunglasses.
