Weather in August
Temperature
Sloan transitions into August recording an average high-temperature of a still hot 87.4°F (30.8°C), closely aligning with the preceding month's temperature. In Sloan, an average nighttime temperature of 70.9°F (21.6°C) is expected during August.Heat index
For August, the heat index is calculated to be a blistering 104°F (40°C). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.

Shield from overexposure. Defense against sun-related harm is required. 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. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
