Weather in August
Temperature
The onset of August marks an average high-temperature of a still warm 82.4°F (28°C), hardly differing from July's 83.7°F (28.7°C). The nighttime temperature during August exhibits a clear drop from daytime highs, settling at a mild 59.5°F (15.3°C).Heat index
For August, the heat index is computed to be a hot 89.6°F (32°C). If one persists in activity during exposure, it could induce weariness and subsequently, heat cramps.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.

However, keep in mind that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays play a pivotal role in reducing solar eye damage.
