Weather in August
Temperature
August is the warmest month of the year, registering average temperatures as high as 97.9°F (36.6°C) and as low as 79.3°F (26.3°C).Heat index
August's mean heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 123.8°F (51°C). Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are quite likely. Heatstroke becomes a risk with continued exertion.Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.

Protection is paramount; otherwise, swift harm can come to the skin and eyes. UV radiation from the Sun is most intense between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. Protect your eyes, ears, face, and neck from the Sun by wearing a wide-brimmed hat.
