Weather in August
Temperature
The onset of August notes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 88.5°F (31.4°C), subtly shifted from July's 89.2°F (31.8°C). August in Purdy sees the temperature falling to a mean low of 69.1°F (20.6°C).Heat index
The heat index in August is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 104°F (40°C). Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

In August, the average daily maximum UV index is 6. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.Note: During August, 6 as the daily maximum UV index converts into the following advice:
Undertake precautions and comply with sun safety standards. Protection from skin and eye injury is vital. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation. Limit direct exposure to the Sun during these hours. For effective sun eye protection, rely on sunglasses certified for UVA and UVB resistance.
