Weather in August
Temperature
The advent of August signifies a minor shift to an average high-temperature of a still tropical 90.1°F (32.3°C), aligning closely with July. An average low-temperature of 70.9°F (21.6°C) is noted during the month of August.Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is computed to be a blistering 107.6°F (42°C). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.
