Weather in August
Temperature
The onset of August marks an average high-temperature of a warm 84.7°F (29.3°C), hardly differing from July's 86.7°F (30.4°C). Ferrum anticipates a stark contrast in temperature during August nights, with an average low of 63.1°F (17.3°C).Heat index
In August, the heat index is computed to be a hot 93.2°F (34°C). More safety actions are required, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Long-term activity may precipitate heatstroke.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.

Beware of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals risk burning in less than 20 minutes. Remember that UV radiation from the Sun is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to limit direct sun exposure during this time. For holistic sun protection encompassing the eyes, ears, face, and neck, a wide-brim hat is key.
