Weather in August
Temperature
The shift into August reveals an average high-temperature of a still hot 86.4°F (30.2°C), closely mirroring July's climate. Forest logs a notable disparity from the daily highs during August, as the nighttime temperature lowers to an average of 64°F (17.8°C).Heat index
The heat index value during August is appraised at a fiery hot 96.8°F (36°C). Ensure extra safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. 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.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for ordinary individuals.Note: In August, a daily maximum UV index of 6 leads to the following instructions:
Use protective steps and abide by sun safety guidelines. Safeguarding against skin and eye harm is necessary. Avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide full protection. Sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays play a pivotal role in reducing solar eye damage.
