Weather in August
Temperature
The transition into August is marked with an average high-temperature of a still tropical 86°F (30°C), showing an insignificant shift from July's 88.3°F (31.3°C). Newtown's nights in August experience an average temperature drop to a pleasant 68.2°F (20.1°C).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is calculated to be a very hot 98.6°F (37°C). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. 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. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.Note: The maximum UV index of 6 during August translates into these guidelines:
Deflect overexposure. Sun protection is a necessity. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is at its strongest, and remember that parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Sun protection is enhanced with clothing that boasts a tight weave yet offers a loose fit.
