Weather in August
Temperature
A minimal variation is noted in Tornado's average high-temperature at the onset of August, reaching a warm 84.9°F (29.4°C) from July's 86.4°F (30.2°C). Tornado logs a notable disparity from the daily highs during August, as the nighttime temperature lowers to an average of 61.5°F (16.4°C).Heat index
During August, the heat index is evaluated at a fiery hot 95°F (35°C). Incorporate additional preventive steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Children frequently do not understand the need for recuperation and hydration. Thirst, being a late manifestation of dehydration, underlines the need to hydrate frequently, especially when engaging in prolonged physical exercises.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

In August, the rain falls for 13.1 days. Throughout August, 1.26" (32mm) of precipitation is accumulated. Throughout the year, there are 152.9 rainfall days, and 16.5" (419mm) of precipitation is accumulated.Snowfall

Sunshine
With an average of 10.3h of sunshine, August has the most sunshine of the year.UV index
May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the highest UV index in Tornado. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for average individuals.Note: A typical high UV index of 6 in August suggests the following recommendations:
Conform to measures and uphold sun safety traditions. Warding off skin and eye harm is necessary. Avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide full protection. Counter UV radiation's ill effects with clothing designed for sun safety and UV-resistant eyewear.
