Weather in August
Temperature
The advent of August brings an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 80.8°F (27.1°C), exhibiting minor difference from the previous month. A significant drop from the day's peak to an average low-temperature of 58.1°F (14.5°C) is noted during the nights in August.Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is evaluated at a hot 86°F (30°C). If one sustains activity during exposure, it could lead to a sense of fatigue, with a chance of heat cramps.It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.

Undertake protective measures and comply with sun safety rules. Shielding against skin and eye damage is essential. Stay in the shade and limit sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Your best bet for sun defense on the face, eyes, and neck is a hat with a wide brim.
