August brings the highest temperatures, with an average high of 88.3°F (31.3°C) and an average low of 80.1°F (26.7°C).Heat index
The heat index value during August is estimated at a blistering 104°F (40°C). Undertake additional precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for ordinary individuals.Note: The maximum UV index, 7 during August, leads to the following recommendations:
Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Seek shade and limit direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but be aware that not all shade structures provide complete sun protection. Select sunglasses that boast both UVA and UVB protection to limit the adverse effects of the sun on the eyes.
