Weather in August
Temperature
Merkel's warmest month, August, generally records average temperatures ranging from a high of 96.3°F (35.7°C) to a low of 75.7°F (24.3°C).Heat index
For August, the heat index is estimated at a scorching 105.8°F (41°C). Incorporate special precautions, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is substantial. Sustained activity could cause heatstroke.It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.

Prevent overexposure. Protection from the sun's harmful effects is needed. 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. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
