Weather in August
Temperature
August is the warmest month of the year, registering average temperatures as high as 95.2°F (35.1°C) and as low as 73.4°F (23°C).Heat index
The heat index in August is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 118.4°F (48°C). Take note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke can occur with prolonged effort.One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.Note: In August, the average maximum UV index of 7 translates into the following recommendations:
Take precautions against overexposure. Protection against sun damage is needed. Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. Using UVA and UVB-protective sunglasses and sun-protective clothing is effective against UV radiation.
