Weather in August
Temperature
With August's advent, Arcadia sees an average high-temperature of a still hot 89.4°F (31.9°C), subtly shifted from July's 91.4°F (33°C). An average nighttime temperature of 68.5°F (20.3°C) is observed in Arcadia during August.Heat index
In August, the average heat index is calculated to be a blistering 104°F (40°C). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.Note: In August, a daily maximum UV index of 6 leads to the following instructions:
Persist with precautions and heed sun safety advice. Prevention of sunburn is compulsory. Avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide full protection. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly.
