Weather in August
Temperature
As July turns into August, the average high-temperatures rest at a still hot 87.6°F (30.9°C), showing a minor variation from the prior month. An average low-temperature of 66.4°F (19.1°C) is recorded in the month of August.Heat index
In August, the average heat index is computed to be a very hot 100.4°F (38°C). Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
Humans rely on perspiration as a cooling mechanism, wherein the evaporating sweat counteracts excessive warmth. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.

Sunshine

May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for ordinary individuals.Note: The maximum UV index of 6 during August leads to these instructions:
Apply measures and align with sun safety principles. Safeguarding against skin and eye injury is pivotal. Limit direct sun exposure especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. However, keep in mind that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Employ a hat with a wide brim for robust protection, cutting UV exposure by half.
