Weather in August
Temperature
August, marked by an average high-temperature of 95.5°F (35.3°C) and a low-temperature of 73.9°F (23.3°C), is the warmest month.Heat index
August's mean heat index is appraised at a life-threatening hot 118.4°F (48°C). Take heed: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Heatstroke is a potential outcome of continuous activity.Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.

Evade overexposure. Individuals with fair skin risk burning in under 20 minutes. 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. For a sun-safe wardrobe, go for clothes that are tightly woven and generously sized.
