Weather in August
Temperature
Alberta's warmest period falls in July and August, when the average high-temperatures ascend to 94.6°F (34.8°C).Heat index
For August, the heat index is estimated at a blazing hot 120.2°F (49°C). On guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a potential hazard with continuous physical effort.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
Humidity
August is the least humid month, with an average relative humidity of 69%.Rainfall
In Alberta, in August, it is raining for 15.1 days, with typically 2.99" (76mm) of accumulated precipitation. In Alberta, during the entire year, the rain falls for 158.9 days and collects up to 39.17" (995mm) of precipitation.Snowfall

Sunshine
August has the most sunshine of the year, with an average of 10.4h of sunshine.UV index
The months with the highest UV index are June through August, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.Note: In August, a regular UV index of 7 translates into these guidelines:
Guard oneself from overexposure. Defence against sun injury is vital. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. Sunglasses providing both UVA and UVB protection are non-negotiable on sunlit days.
