Temperature

With the arrival of August, Reliance's average high-temperature registers at a still moderately hot 82.4°F (28°C), indicating a subtle variation from the previous month. Reliance records a consistent low-temperature of 64.2°F (17.9°C) during August nights.

Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is computed to be a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). With constant exposure and activity, a state of weariness might ensue, leading to potential heat cramps.
When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. 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. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.

Note: In August, a regular UV index of 6 translates into these guidelines:
Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the period of highest UV radiation. Remember, however, that not all shade structures offer full protection. Sun protection is enhanced with clothing that boasts a tight weave yet offers a loose fit.
