Weather in August
Temperature
Parrott records an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 81.1°F (27.3°C) in August, closely mirroring the climate of the previous month. August nights are characterized by a significant departure from the daytime highs, dropping to an average temperature of 58.6°F (14.8°C).Heat index
During August, the heat index is evaluated at a hot 86°F (30°C). Unrelenting activity during exposure could cause fatigue and potentially lead to heat cramps.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.

Deter overexposure. Protecting against the sun's effects is essential. Limit your direct sun exposure, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest. Shade structures might not provide complete sun protection. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes.
