Weather in August
Temperature
August, with its high-temperature average of 96.1°F (35.6°C) and a low-temperature average of 76.3°F (24.6°C), is the warmest month.Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is evaluated at a burning hot 113°F (45°C). Notice: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued strenuous activity might lead to heatstroke.Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

Embrace precautions and observe sun safety norms. Evasion of sunburn is a necessity. The hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. have the most intense UV radiation. As much as possible, limit direct sun exposure during this period. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
