Weather in August

The arrival of August brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 86.9°F (30.5°C), nearly identical to July's 88°F (31.1°C). During the month of August, Lester anticipates a mean low-temperature of 68°F (20°C).Heat index
The heat index value during August is appraised at a sweltering 100.4°F (38°C). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Youngsters frequently overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is an advanced sign of dehydration - thereby highlighting the importance of keeping hydrated, particularly during long physical activities.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
