Weather in August
Temperature
The transition from July to August brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 86.9°F (30.5°C), barely different from July's 89.6°F (32°C). During August, Lake Monticello's temperature records a considerable difference from its daily highs to an average low of 64.6°F (18.1°C).Heat index
August's heat index is evaluated at a very hot 98.6°F (37°C). Exercise enhanced safety steps, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke could be a result of sustained activity.In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

Undertake precautions and comply with sun safety standards. Protection from skin and eye injury is vital. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation. Limit direct exposure to the Sun during these hours. A wide-brim hat offers excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck. Sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection significantly reduce eye damage from sun exposure.
