Weather in August
Temperature
Richland's average high-temperature in August is a still tropical 91.8°F (33.2°C), marking an insignificant difference from the 91.9°F (33.3°C) of July. Richland observes an average nighttime temperature of 72.3°F (22.4°C) during August.Heat index
The average heat index in August is evaluated at a burning hot 113°F (45°C). Heed: Expect heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continued action may cause heatstroke.Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.

Guard against overexposure. Protection from sun-induced harm is essential. Stay in the shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest. Remember, however, that not all shade structures provide full sun protection. Consider a wide-brim hat essential for effective sun defense covering your face, neck, and eyes.
