Weather in August
Temperature
With August's advent, Berkeley sees an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 84.2°F (29°C), subtly shifted from July's 86.5°F (30.3°C). August's nights exhibit a sharp contrast from day highs, with an average temperature of 62.6°F (17°C).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is appraised at a hot 93.2°F (34°C). Incorporate additional safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Long-term activity may induce heatstroke.One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.

Take precautions against overexposure. Protection against sun damage is needed. The Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. Sun-protective clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses are particularly helpful in blocking UV radiation's harmful effects.
