Weather in August
Temperature
In the transition from July to August, Pickering reports an average high-temperature of a still tropical 93.2°F (34°C), indicating a close resemblance to the prior month. In August, Pickering encounters an average low-temperature of 73.2°F (22.9°C) during the night.Heat index
The heat index value for August is calculated to be a burning hot 120.2°F (49°C). Beware: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are on the cards. Heatstroke could result from sustained physical activity.The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.

A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for average individuals.Note: An average maximum UV index of 7 in August leads to these recommendations:
Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. 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. Counter UV radiation's ill effects with clothing designed for sun safety and UV-resistant eyewear.
