Weather in August
Temperature
August denotes a minimal variation in the average high-temperature to a still tropical 90.1°F (32.3°C) from July's 91°F (32.8°C). Scotia's nighttime temperature in August drops to an average of 73.2°F (22.9°C).Heat index
The heat index value for August is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 111.2°F (44°C). Remain alert: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Extended effort can lead to heatstroke.Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
Humidity
In Scotia, the average relative humidity in August is 76%.Rainfall
The month with the most rainfall is August, when the rain falls for 20.2 days and typically aggregates up to 3.62" (92mm) of precipitation.Snowfall

Sunshine
The average sunshine in August is 10.4h.UV index
The months with the highest UV index are June through August, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for ordinary individuals.Note: The UV index of 7 in August translates into these instructions:
Avoid excessive sunlight. Those with lighter skin may experience burning in less than 20 minutes. Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly.
