Weather in August
Temperature
August, recording an average high temperature of 88.5°F (31.4°C) and a low temperature of 79.7°F (26.5°C), is North Sarasota's warmest month.Heat index
The heat index for August is computed to be a blisteringly hot 104°F (40°C). Ensure extra safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.

May through September, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. 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: The daily high UV index of 7 during August translates into the following recommendations:
Evade overexposure. Individuals with fair skin risk burning in under 20 minutes. Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. A hat with a broad brim is indispensable, filtering out up to half of UV rays.
