Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 88.3°F (31.3°C), subtly diverging from July's 89.4°F (31.9°C). During the month of August, an average low-temperature of 68.9°F (20.5°C) is recorded.Heat index
In August, the heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 104°F (40°C). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. 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.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.
