Weather in August
Temperature
With the transition into August, Wildcat notes an average high-temperature of a still hot 91°F (32.8°C), closely resembling July. An average nighttime temperature of 73°F (22.8°C) is observed during August.Heat index
The average heat index in August is calculated to be a burning hot 113°F (45°C). Stay wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Heatstroke can ensue from extended effort.Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.

Implement preventive steps and embrace sun safety standards. Protection from skin and eye distress is compulsory. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun's UV radiation is at its peak. Limit your exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
