Weather in August
Temperature
The onset of August marks an average high-temperature of a still hot 88°F (31.1°C), hardly differing from July's 90°F (32.2°C). August nights see a notable contrast from daytime highs, with the nighttime temperature averaging at an enjoyable 65.8°F (18.8°C).Heat index
For August, the heat index is computed to be a torrid 100.4°F (38°C). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. 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. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

Avoid overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can burn in under 20 minutes. Avoid exposure to the Sun and try to stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent, but be aware that parasols or canopies may not offer full protection. For excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck, consider a wide-brim hat.
