August, the last month of the summer in Sumac, is also a moderately hot month, with an average temperature ranging between max 85.6°F (29.8°C) and min 64.8°F (18.2°C).

Sumac marks the arrival of August with an average high-temperature of a warm 85.6°F (29.8°C), hardly different from July's 86.4°F (30.2°C). During August, the average low-temperature is a comfortable 64.8°F (18.2°C).

Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is appraised at a fiery hot 96.8°F (36°C). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.
Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. 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 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
