Weather in August
Temperature
As August takes hold, the average high-temperature is a still hot 86.4°F (30.2°C), nearly mirroring that of the previous month. Troy's average low-temperature of 64.6°F (18.1°C) in August reflects a significant disparity from the daytime highs.Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is appraised at a fiery hot 96.8°F (36°C). Undertake enhanced precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible risks. Continuous activity could trigger heatstroke.Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.

A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for average individuals.Note: The daily maximum UV index of 6 in August interprets into the following advice:
Avert overexposure. Light-skinned people might experience burning in less than 20 minutes. 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-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun.
