Weather in August
Temperature
Halcyon starts August with an average high-temperature of a warm 84.9°F (29.4°C), a minor shift from July's 86.4°F (30.2°C). Halcyon documents a striking divergence from daytime highs, with an average nighttime temperature of 61.3°F (16.3°C) in August.Heat index
August's heat index is estimated at a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Incorporate extra safety measures to avoid heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Continuous activity could provoke heatstroke.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.

Deter overexposure. Protecting against the sun's effects is essential. UV radiation from the Sun is most intense between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
