Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Penrose, is another warm month, with an average temperature varying between 83.3°F (28.5°C) and 61.3°F (16.3°C).

Temperature

August's commencement is accompanied by an average high-temperature of a still warm 83.3°F (28.5°C), diverging marginally from July's 84.6°F (29.2°C). Penrose anticipates a pronounced temperature drop from daily highs during the nights of August, with an average low of 61.3°F (16.3°C).

Heat index

The heat index value for August is computed to be a tropical 91.4°F (33°C). Ensure extra safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.
In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.

Note: The maximum UV index of 6 during August translates into these guidelines:
Sidestep overexposure. Individuals with fair complexions risk burning in fewer than 20 minutes. The Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. Counter UV radiation's ill effects with clothing designed for sun safety and UV-resistant eyewear.
