Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August brings an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 85.6°F (29.8°C), closely following the temperature pattern of July. An average low-temperature of 65.7°F (18.7°C) is recorded during the nights in August.Heat index
The heat index value during August is computed to be a very hot 96.8°F (36°C). Incorporate additional preventive steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for ordinary individuals.Note: The daily high UV index of 6 during August translates into the following recommendations:
Use measures and accept sun safety conventions. Guarding against skin and eye trauma is of high priority. The Sun's UV radiation is at its strongest between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Minimize direct exposure to the sun during this period. In the presence of strong sunlight, it's crucial to wear sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays.
