Weather in August
Temperature
Energy's weather, upon August's arrival, documents an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 85.6°F (29.8°C), nearly identical to the prior month. Nighttime temperatures in August average to a refreshing 66.4°F (19.1°C).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is computed to be a very hot 96.8°F (36°C). Implement heightened safety measures - risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is increased. Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for 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.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.

May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the highest UV index in Energy. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the average person.Note: The UV index of 6 in August translates into these instructions:
Uphold preventive measures and conform to sun safety guidelines. Defending against skin and eye harm is crucial. Avoid direct Sun exposure and stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is most intense, noting that not all shade structures offer full protection. Stay sun-safe with clothing that is both closely woven and worn loosely.
