Weather in August
Temperature
August's onset records an average high-temperature of a still warm 28.5°C (83.3°F), a near match to July's 28.2°C (82.8°F). Canada's nighttime temperatures in August see a subtle dip to an average of 27.6°C (81.7°F).Heat index
In August, the heat index is appraised at a tropical 33°C (91.4°F). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.

Prevent overexposure. Protection from the sun's harmful effects is needed. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the period of highest UV radiation. Remember, however, that not all shade structures offer full protection. Consider a wide-brim hat essential for effective sun defense covering your face, neck, and eyes.
