Weather in August
Temperature
August's onset brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 91°F (32.8°C), showing a minute difference from July's 91.8°F (33.2°C). August witnesses an average low-temperature hovering around an agreeable 71.2°F (21.8°C).Heat index
August's heat index is appraised at a burning hot 113°F (45°C). Stay watchful: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are likely. Ongoing effort may cause heatstroke.Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.
