Weather in August
Temperature
Couch measures an average high-temperature of a warm 85.5°F (29.7°C) in August, nearly consistent with the preceding month. Throughout August, Couch registers a distinct decrease from daytime highs, reaching an average low of 62.6°F (17°C).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is computed to be a fiery hot 95°F (35°C). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for 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 human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

Shun overexposure. Protection from sun ravages is indispensable. To the best of your ability, limit your exposure to the sun between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Combat UV radiation's detrimental effects with sun-safe clothing and UV-blocking eyewear.
