Weather in August
Temperature
The months of June through August see the peak of Earth's temperatures, averaging a high of 91.4°F (33°C).Heat index
In August, the average heat index is estimated at a sweltering 96.8°F (36°C). Ensure heightened precautions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Sustained activity could provoke heatstroke.It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
Humidity
In Earth, the average relative humidity in August is 49%.Rainfall
In Earth, during August, the rain falls for 9 days and regularly aggregates up to 1.22" (31mm) of precipitation. In Earth, during the entire year, the rain falls for 70.8 days and collects up to 10.67" (271mm) of precipitation.Snowfall
May through September are months without snowfall.Daylight
In August, the average length of the day is 13h and 23min.On the first day of the month, sunrise is at 7:01 am and sunset at 8:50 pm. On the last day of August, sunrise is at 7:22 am and sunset at 8:16 pm CDT.
Sunshine
In Earth, the average sunshine in August is 9.8h.UV index
The months with the highest UV index are June through August, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for average individuals.Note: A typical high UV index of 7 in August suggests the following recommendations:
Apply measures and align with sun safety principles. Safeguarding against skin and eye injury is pivotal. 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. Clothes that are both tight-knit and comfortably loose are prime choices for sun protection.
