Weather in August
Temperature
At the start of August, Athendale's average high-temperature reaches a still hot 86.5°F (30.3°C), subtly different from the preceding month. The month of August records an average low-temperature of 67.3°F (19.6°C).Heat index
The heat index value for August is computed to be a torrid 98.6°F (37°C). Take special precautions - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke may occur with lengthy activity.Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.

Dodge overexposure. Fair-skinned people can get singed in less than 20 minutes. Stay out of direct sunlight between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide complete protection. Outfit yourself in sun-safe attire, like long sleeves, pants, a hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses.
