With the onset of August, the average high-temperature registers at a moderately hot 85.5°F (29.7°C), subtly different from July's 86.5°F (30.3°C). Ambrosia documents a substantial deviation from daytime highs with a consistent low-temperature of 62.6°F (17°C) during August nights.

Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is computed to be a very hot 95°F (35°C). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.
Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Children often fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst, being a late symptom of dehydration, underlines the importance of maintaining hydration, especially during ongoing physical activities.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
