Weather in August
Temperature
Entering August, Oxford's average high-temperature reads a still tropical 86.5°F (30.3°C), indicating a close resemblance to the previous month's climate. August witnesses a substantial contrast between the daytime highs and the average low of 63.5°F (17.5°C).Heat index
The heat index value for August is calculated to be a very hot 95°F (35°C). Adopt extra preventive measures, the occurrence of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is likely. Heatstroke may follow extended activity.When referencing the heat index, its values are suitable for shady environments and light breezes. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.

A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for ordinary individuals.Note: A maximum UV index of 6 in August translates into the following recommendations:
Eschew overexposure. Those with light skin may suffer burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, but remember that shade structures may not offer complete protection. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
