Weather in August
Temperature
The advent of August brings an average high-temperature of a hot 30.2°C (86.4°F), almost identical to the preceding month. California's average low temperature, barely cooler than the daytime high, steadies at a warm 26°C (78.8°F) during August.Heat index
August's average heat index is appraised at a sweltering 37°C (98.6°F). Adopt extra safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
Humidity
In August, the average relative humidity is 77%.Rainfall
August is the month with the most rainfall. Rain falls for 21.9 days and accumulates 97mm (3.82") of precipitation.Daylight
The average length of the day in August is 12h and 27min.On the first day of the month, sunrise is at 05:55 and sunset at 18:29. On the last day of August, sunrise is at 05:56 and sunset at 18:15 AST.
Sunshine
August and September, with an average of 11.1h of sunshine, are months with the most sunshine in California.UV index
January through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. The months with the lowest UV index are January through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for average individuals.Note: The daily high UV index of 7 during August translates into the following recommendations:
Take precautions and utilize sun safety practices. Protection against skin and eye damage is required. 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. Outfit yourself in sun-safe attire, like long sleeves, pants, a hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses.
