Weather in August
Temperature
The advent of August brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 91°F (32.8°C), exhibiting minor difference from the previous month. In August, Norwood reports a consistent average low-temperature of 72.5°F (22.5°C) during the nights.Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is calculated to be a burning hot 114.8°F (46°C). Be cautious: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a possible consequence of continuous physical effort.Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.

Sunshine

In August, the average daily maximum UV index in Norwood is 6. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the average person.Note: The daily maximum UV index of 6 in August interprets into the following advice:
Use measures and accept sun safety conventions. Guarding against skin and eye trauma is of high priority. Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
