Weather in August
Temperature
Welcoming August, Harper notes an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 85.6°F (29.8°C), nearly consistent with July's 86.9°F (30.5°C). In August, the temperature in Harper sees a substantial plunge from daytime highs to a low average of 62.2°F (16.8°C).Heat index
The heat index in August is computed to be a sweltering 96.8°F (36°C). Exercise heightened safety, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may provoke heatstroke.Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. 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 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.

Incorporate safeguards and honour sun safety principles. Protection from skin and eye damage is obligatory. 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. A wide-brim hat offers excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck. Sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection significantly reduce eye damage from sun exposure.
