August in Milton continues the summer's sizzle albeit with a slight dip in temperature. The frequency of rainfall is at its maximum, recording 13.1 days while maintaining high humidity levels. The long summer days slowly start to fold into shorter daylight hours with 13.6h on the clock. Outdoor pursuits remain at a high due to persistent warm conditions and extended sunlight.

Heat index

August's heat index is computed to be a hot 86°F (30°C). If one stays active during extended exposure, it might induce fatigue and result in heat cramps.
Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
