Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 88°F (31.1°C), nearly identical to July's 88.7°F (31.5°C). Throughout the month of August, Lakeland witnesses an average temperature of 70.3°F (21.3°C).Heat index
August's average heat index is calculated to be a scorching 104°F (40°C). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
Perspiring is a crucial mechanism for the human body, allowing it to release excessive warmth through evaporating sweat. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.

Adopt measures and apply sun safety strategies. Shielding from skin and eye damage is necessary. Try to minimize direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. A hat with a generous brim can prevent nearly 50% of UV rays from reaching your eyes.
