Weather in August
Temperature
A minor adjustment in Redmond's average high-temperature is noted with the start of August, touching a warm 85.5°F (29.7°C) from July's 86.5°F (30.3°C). A marked difference from the daytime temperatures, Redmond's nighttime temperature falls to an average low of 62.6°F (17°C) in August.Heat index
August's mean heat index is evaluated at a torrid 95°F (35°C). Incorporate special precautions, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is substantial. Sustained activity could cause heatstroke.Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are extremely significant 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.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.

Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. For a sun-safe wardrobe, go for clothes that are tightly woven and generously sized.
