Weather in August
Temperature
The transition into August is marked with an average high-temperature of a still warm 84.4°F (29.1°C), showing an insignificant shift from July's 85.6°F (29.8°C). Despite higher daytime temperatures, nighttime averages fall to a refreshing 62.1°F (16.7°C) in August.Heat index
The heat index in August is estimated at a hot 89.6°F (32°C). A sense of exhaustion might occur with extended exposure and activity, potentially causing heat cramps.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.

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. Sunglasses that guard against UVA and UVB rays are pivotal in minimizing sun-induced ocular damage.
