Weather in August
Temperature
In Ames, Texas, August is the month with the highest recorded average temperatures, measuring a high of 93.7°F (34.3°C) and a low of 75°F (23.9°C).Heat index
The heat index in August is computed to be a life-threatening hot 123.8°F (51°C). Vigilance: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. The likelihood of heatstroke increases with continued activity.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. 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 extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.

Take precautions and utilize sun safety practices. Protection against skin and eye damage is required. Avoid direct exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, noting that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer complete sun protection. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
