Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Glen Arden, is also a hot month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 87.1°F (30.6°C) and 65.1°F (18.4°C).

Temperature

The transition from July to August sees average high-temperatures adjusting to a still hot 87.1°F (30.6°C), from a not significantly different 87.8°F (31°C). Glen Arden receives a consistent average low-temperature of 65.1°F (18.4°C) in August, a substantial dip from the day's heat.

Heat index

The heat index in August is evaluated at a sweltering 98.6°F (37°C). Take greater precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could result from lengthy activity.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.

Eschew overexposure. Those with light skin may suffer burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
