Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Lathamville, is another tropical month, with an average temperature varying between 67.8°F (19.9°C) and 87.4°F (30.8°C).

Temperature

The onset of August brings with it an average high-temperature of a still tropical 87.4°F (30.8°C), showing a negligible variation from the month before. Throughout the August nights, Lathamville encounters a low-temperature of 67.8°F (19.9°C).

Heat index

August's mean heat index is computed to be a torrid 102.2°F (39°C). Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.
Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.

On sunny days, it's ideal to wear sunglasses that filter out UVA and UVB rays.
