Weather in August
Temperature
Takoma Park's weather in August indicates an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 85.6°F (29.8°C), nearly consistent with the 87.4°F (30.8°C) of July. Throughout the month of August, Takoma Park observes an average nighttime temperature of 68.2°F (20.1°C).Heat index
During August, the heat index is computed to be a fiery hot 95°F (35°C). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.

Sun-related eye harm can be minimized with proper sunglasses offering UVA and UVB coverage.
