Weather in August
August, the last month of the summer in Hale, is another tropical month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 91.4°F (33°C) and 71.8°F (22.1°C).Temperature
The arrival of August brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 91.4°F (33°C), subtly diverging from July's 91.9°F (33.3°C). An average low-temperature of 71.8°F (22.1°C) marks the nights throughout August.Heat index
August's heat index is calculated to be a blazing hot 113°F (45°C). Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Prolonged effort can result in heatstroke.Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.

A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the average person.Note: The UV index of 7 during August translates into the following guidance:
Eschew overexposure. Those with light skin may suffer burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and limit sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Outfit yourself in sun-safe attire, like long sleeves, pants, a hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses.
