Weather in August
Temperature
Hawthorne observes a minor difference in average high-temperatures between July's 87.4°F (30.8°C) and August's 85.6°F (29.8°C). In August, the nighttime temperature lowers to an average of 68.2°F (20.1°C).Heat index
August's heat index is evaluated at a torrid 95°F (35°C). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. 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 'feels like', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. 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.
Perspiring is a crucial mechanism for the human body, allowing it to release excessive warmth through evaporating sweat. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.

The month with the most rainfall is August, when the rain falls for 16.3 days and typically aggregates up to 3.86" (98mm) of precipitation.Snowfall

Sunshine
In August, the average sunshine is 10.1h.UV index
May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.Note: In August, a regular UV index of 6 translates into these guidelines:
Resist overexposure. Safeguarding from solar damage is indispensable. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this time. Always opt for UVA and UVB-resistant sunglasses on radiant days.
