Weather in August
Temperature
College Park records an average high-temperature of a still hot 90.1°F (32.3°C) in August, maintaining a close correlation with July's 91.2°F (32.9°C). College Park encounters an average low-temperature of 73.8°F (23.2°C) during August nights.Heat index
The average heat index in August is appraised at a scorching 111.2°F (44°C). Eyes open: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Prolonged exertion could lead to heatstroke.Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young ones often ignore the need to take a break and drink fluids. Thirst is a late-stage symptom of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, particularly during extended physical activities, is crucial.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.

Employ safeguards and advocate sun safety protocols. Shielding against skin and eye damage is crucial. The hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. have the most intense UV radiation. As much as possible, limit direct sun exposure during this period. Sunglasses that guard against UVA and UVB rays are pivotal in minimizing sun-induced ocular damage.
