Weather in August
Temperature
The dawn of August sees an average high-temperature of a still tropical 88.5°F (31.4°C), subtly contrasting with July's 89.2°F (31.8°C). Nixon's average low-temperature is measured at an agreeable 68.9°F (20.5°C) during August.Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is appraised at a scorching 104°F (40°C). Greater safety measures are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Continuous activity might trigger heatstroke.Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.

Incorporate safeguards and honour sun safety principles. Protection from skin and eye damage is obligatory. Be aware that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and try to reduce direct sun exposure during this period as much as possible. Tightly woven clothing, when worn loosely, shields effectively against the Sun.
