Weather in August
Temperature
August's beginning signals an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 83.5°F (28.6°C), barely different from July's 84.6°F (29.2°C). Despite a significant deviation from daily highs, August sees an average nighttime temperature of 60.4°F (15.8°C).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is estimated at a hot 91.4°F (33°C). More safety actions are required, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Long-term activity may precipitate heatstroke.Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.

Sidestep overexposure. Individuals with fair complexions risk burning in fewer than 20 minutes. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure to the Sun during this period.
