Weather in August
Temperature
Cowan experiences a subtle adjustment in high-temperatures to a moderately hot 85.8°F (29.9°C) with the onset of August, maintaining near parity with July's 86.5°F (30.3°C). Nighttime temperatures consistently average a comfortable 65.8°F (18.8°C) during August.Heat index
The heat index for August is computed to be a torrid 98.6°F (37°C). Undertake additional safety actions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Persistent activity may induce heatstroke.Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.

Inhibit overexposure. Warding off sun damage is of utmost importance. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is at its strongest, and remember that parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
