Weather in August
Temperature
Temperature readings reach their annual highs in August, averaging 87.1°F (30.6°C) and a minimum average of 81.5°F (27.5°C).Heat index
The average heat index in August is estimated at a torrid 98.6°F (37°C). Implement additional safety measures to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity might trigger heatstroke.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. 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 especially vital to children. Youngsters often neglect the necessity for rest and hydration. Thirst is a sign of advancing dehydration - thus the importance of maintaining hydration, specifically during long-lasting physical activities.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

Dodge overexposure. Fair-skinned people can get singed in less than 20 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but keep in mind that not all shade structures provide complete protection. Prioritize a wide-brim hat for comprehensive sun defense for your face, neck, eyes, and ears.
