Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Drewry, is another tropical month, with an average temperature ranging between min 72.1°F (22.3°C) and max 91.9°F (33.3°C).

The transition into August is marked with an average high-temperature of a still tropical 91.9°F (33.3°C), showing an insignificant shift from July's 92.3°F (33.5°C). During August, Drewry consistently records a temperature low averaging a pleasant 72.1°F (22.3°C).

Heat index

The heat index in August is evaluated at a blazing hot 116.6°F (47°C). Watchful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are predicted. Continued exertion could lead to heatstroke.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. 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. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
