Weather in August
Temperature
In Sheldon, the highest average temperatures are observed in August, with a high of 93.4°F (34.1°C) and a low of 77°F (25°C).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is estimated at a life-threatening hot 118.4°F (48°C). Stay wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Heatstroke can ensue from extended effort.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. 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 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Juveniles are regularly less conscious of the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a tardy symptom of dehydration - hydration, especially during lengthy physical activities, should be maintained.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.

Evade overexposure. Individuals with fair skin risk burning in under 20 minutes. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this time. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
