Weather in August
Temperature
Santa Maria registers the highest average temperatures during the month of August, with peaks of 97.9°F (36.6°C) and lows of 79.3°F (26.3°C).Heat index
For August, the heat index is estimated at a burning hot 123.8°F (51°C). Notice: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued strenuous activity might lead to heatstroke.The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. During bright days, sunglasses that offer UVA and UVB defense are recommended.
