Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August sees an average high-temperature of a warm 85.6°F (29.8°C), hardly diverging from July's 86.5°F (30.3°C). August presents a sharp fall from Mount Sulphur's daytime highs to an average low-temperature of 64°F (17.8°C).Heat index
During August, the heat index is computed to be a very hot 96.8°F (36°C). Adopt heightened safety measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may occur. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

Deter overexposure. Protecting against the sun's effects is essential. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is particularly strong, noting that parasols or canopies may not offer total sun protection. Employ a hat with a wide brim for robust protection, cutting UV exposure by half.
