Weather in August
Temperature
The onset of August manifests an average high-temperature of a still hot 88.5°F (31.4°C), demonstrating a minor variation from the preceding month. Swift observes an average low-temperature of 68.9°F (20.5°C) during August.Heat index
The heat index value during August is calculated to be an extremely hot 104°F (40°C). Undertake additional safety actions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Persistent activity may induce heatstroke.Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Youngsters frequently overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is an advanced sign of dehydration - thereby highlighting the importance of keeping hydrated, particularly during long physical activities.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.

In August, the average daily maximum UV index is 6. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.Note: In August, the maximum UV index of 6 suggests this advice:
Act on precautions and pay attention to sun safety recommendations. Avoidance of sunburn is obligatory. Avoid direct Sun exposure and stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is most intense, noting that not all shade structures offer full protection. Consider a wide-brim hat essential for effective sun defense covering your face, neck, and eyes.
