Weather in August
Temperature
Woodford's shift from July to August is accompanied by an average high-temperature of a still hot 86.7°F (30.4°C), a slight deviation from 89.1°F (31.7°C). The temperature dips to an average of 66°F (18.9°C) during August nights.Heat index
During August, the heat index is computed to be a sweltering 98.6°F (37°C). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

Conform to measures and uphold sun safety traditions. Warding off skin and eye harm is necessary. Avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide full protection. Protect your eyes, ears, face, and neck from the Sun by wearing a wide-brimmed hat.
