Weather in August
Temperature
With the onset of August, Gordon's average high-temperature clocks in at a still hot 90.1°F (32.3°C), showing a minor fluctuation from the previous month. An average low-temperature of 73.8°F (23.2°C) is expected in Gordon during August.Heat index
August's mean heat index is estimated at an extremely hot 111.2°F (44°C). Mindful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are to be expected. Extended physical effort might result in heatstroke.Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.

The months with the highest UV index in Gordon are May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.Note: In August, the maximum UV index of 7 transforms into these recommendations:
Undertake protective measures and comply with sun safety rules. Shielding against skin and eye damage is essential. The time between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. is when UV radiation is at its peak. Limit exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. Counter UV radiation's ill effects with clothing designed for sun safety and UV-resistant eyewear.
