Weather in August
Temperature
The shift into August reveals an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 85.6°F (29.8°C), closely mirroring July's climate. In August, a remarkable difference from daytime highs is noted, as Vesta records an average temperature of 63.9°F (17.7°C) during the night.Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is evaluated at a very hot 95°F (35°C). Incorporate extra safety measures to avoid heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Continuous activity could provoke heatstroke.Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. 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 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to 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.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.

Sunshine
The average sunshine in August is 10.4h.UV index
The months with the highest UV index are May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.Note: The maximum daily UV index of 6 during August translates into the following directions:
Implement preventive steps and embrace sun safety standards. Protection from skin and eye distress is compulsory. The hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. have the most intense UV radiation. As much as possible, limit direct sun exposure during this period. Arm yourself against UV rays' harm with protective apparel and UV-filtering shades.
