Weather in August
Temperature
As Drakes Branch steps into August, the average high-temperature holds at a still hot 87.4°F (30.8°C), hinting at a minor fluctuation from the prior month. During the August nights, an average temperature of 66.6°F (19.2°C) is observed.Heat index
During August, the heat index is appraised at a sweltering 100.4°F (38°C). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

Use measures and accept sun safety conventions. Guarding against skin and eye trauma is of high priority. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. Boost your sun resistance with garments that are densely woven yet spacious.
