August weather forecast
Coleman, FL

August, the last month of the summer in Coleman, is another tropical month, with an average temperature varying between 90.1°F (32.3°C) and 75.2°F (24°C).

Temperature

July and August mark Coleman's peak of temperatures, averaging a high-temperature of 90.1°F (32.3°C).

Heat index

August's mean heat index is estimated at a burning hot 113°F (45°C). Be careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may result from extended activity.
Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.

Humidity

The months with the highest humidity are July through September, with an average relative humidity of 79%.

Rainfall

In Coleman, during August, the rain falls for 17.3 days and regularly aggregates up to 1.81" (46mm) of precipitation. Throughout the year, there are 130.4 rainfall days, and 11.26" (286mm) of precipitation is accumulated.

UV index

May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.
Note: The daily high UV index of 7 during August translates into the following recommendations:
Avoid overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can burn in under 20 minutes. Avoid exposure to the Sun and try to stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent, but be aware that parasols or canopies may not offer full protection. Tightly woven clothing, when worn loosely, shields effectively against the Sun.
